The British TV channels like to put programmes on a Sunday might that are light and easy to watch, entertaining and get them back in the right frame of mind for the return to work on Monday. The series was based on the writings of Compton McKenzie of Whisky Galore fame.

It was popular, scenic and enjoyable and ran for a good few years.

The actor playing Lord Kilwillie was the writer behind Downtown Abbey. Another staple of Sunday night.
