Seven 'Pilot' Shows by Ronnie Barker. Each has Ronnie in the lead role. Produced by the BBC as seven stand alone Sit-Coms but with a view to making a subsequent series for any of them if the public liked them. The first two were made into very successful series. 'Open All Hours' and 'Porridge' ('Going Straight' was a spin-off of this one) The other 5 were good but not good enough.
