Hi Christopher

I've also seen this remake of 'Rhubarb'. The original was filmed in 1969, two years after Eric Sykes' other (semi) silent classic 'The Plank'. Both were re-made in 1980 with different casts for Thames Television.

I had a frame-by-frame look at the footage and came to the conclusion that the tv that Roy Kinnear is dropping from the window is a GEC...
