It came up in a book I amnreading and I plan to watch it on YouTube. I seem to remember we loved it at the time.

I remember reading it under a hairdryer over 50 years ago and laughing so loud people were watching me .
I had to explain what I was reading, thank you for reminding me.

Yes I remember it. I have the book somewhere but followed it more on TV.

Just watched the first episode again - you can find it on Youtube.
I cannot get rid of the subtitles which are hilariously inaccurate .. urinal is You Rhino!

My dad loved it. Was David Kossof in it?

No - I don't think so.

Peter Ustinov is the narrator. Good to hear his voice again.

I, too, loved Peter Ustinov's voice. It was mellifluous

I remember my Dad really enjoying the television adaptation. It came up recently in Fi & Jane’s Times radio podcast and they didn’t know how to pronounce it. Made me feel ancient.
