YOU RANG M'LORD? - The complete Series 1-4 Box set

If you enjoyed Dad's Army, 'Allo 'Allo!, Hi-De-Hi, Are You Being Served?, here is another Jimmy Perry and David Croft classic!

Two World War I soldiers stumble across the body of an officer while crossing no-man's land under heavy gunfire. Assuming him to be dead, one, Alf Stokes, attempts to rob the officer, much to the disgust of his comrade, James Twelvetrees. It becomes apparent that the unconscious officer is not dead, and the two men see their chance to escape the guns by carrying him to a field hospital. The two soldiers are later called to see the officer, The Honourable Teddy Meldrum, who says he is eternally grateful, and promises them both jobs after the war.

The action then cuts to London in 1927, where James Twelvetrees has become the footman in the house of Lord Meldrum (brother of Teddy), and wants to further his position following the death of the butler. Meanwhile, Alf Stokes and his daughter, Ivy have just been sacked from their job in a music hall (a job he took after being dismissed for dishonesty as a butler). Alf sees his chance to apply for a job at the Meldrum's house, and after blackmailing his previous employer for references, becomes the new butler, much to the annoyance of James. Following the dismissal of a maid after a backstairs relationship with the Honourable Teddy, Ivy is brought in by her father as the new maid (to hide the fact that she is Alf's daughter, the two decide that Ivy should use her mother's maiden name, Teasdale).

Thus, the plot is set, as the programme follows the various relationships between the upper-class and their servants, as well as Alf's scheming and James' attempts to stop him. The events depicted in the 26 episodes are timelined though not directly following each other and are based mainly around the following threads:

• moral combat between Alf, James and Ivy, as Alf keeps developing schemes in order to achieve some fortune (and usually fails) and James and Ivy try to stop his actions,

• adultery triangle between Lord Meldrum, Lady Agatha and Sir Ralph,

• developing love affair between Alf and Mrs. Lipton, and between Mrs. Lipton and PC Wilson,

• efforts of Teddy to dodge the marriage with Madge Cartwright,

• business rise, fall and recovery of the House of Meldrum and its most important asset, the Union Jack Rubber Company,

• unpredictable actions of Lady Lavender.
