Created by John Stevenson, the programme was about a factory worker Clifford Basket (played by Ken Jones) who inherited a title of the Earl of Clogborough, the remaining estate of which is a rundown mansion at Little Clogborough-in-the-Marsh and a faithful servant Bodkin played by Arthur Lowe
End of the peer
Well done, good and faithful servant
I gotta horse
For i'm to be queen of the may
For richer, for poorer
Do onto others
It's a living
Since then i have used no other
Good queen bess slept here
A chip off the old block
The hound of the baskets
Nice work if you can get it
A tisket, a tasket
