- Synopsis:
A continuing hit with viewers on its first appearance in 1969, 'Father, Dear Father' regularly topped the ITV ratings during its six year run. Patrick Cargill plays a divorced thriller writer, Patrick Glover, who finds himself responsible for the welfare and upbringing of his irrepressible teenage daughters Anna and Karen. The two lively dolly-birds are always up to something, and their lively exploits cause Patrick many a difficult and embarrassing moment. He's sometimes driven almost to distraction by their constant teasing and, to him, shockingly modern outlook on love, sex and marriage. Helping Patrick keep Anna and Karen in order is the patient and much put-upon housekeeper, Nanny, but the real power in the household is the family's splendid St. Bernard dog, H G Wells. This complete second series of 'Father, Dear Father' is available here for the first time and also guest stars Bill Fraser, Brian Wilde and Donald Sinden.
