Potter (Starring Arthur Lowe) - Series 2 - Episode 7. Broadcast: April 9th, 1980. For many a long year, Redvers Potter has been head of the family firm - Pottermints (the hotter mints!). A man used to being obeyed, he is authoritative and decisive. At 58, he has decided to sell the business. Mrs Potter, who has had the dubious honour of holding her position for some thirty years, has taken to vodka at the prospect of having her husband at home all day. She has long dreaded his retirement and is learning to cope with the extra time he now has to ignore her - or alternatively to advise her how to do things he should be doing himself. Not unnaturally, with time now on his hands, he tends to interfere with other people's lives: "I'll help people. That's what I'll do. They are usually simple creatures; bloody idiots most of them," or rather, as his neighbours see it, "probe his nose into other people's business!" Potter's enthusiasm for 'helping others' though is equalled only by his ineptitude in so doing! The brilliant Arthur Lowe (Dad’s Army) creates the perfect, pompous portrayal of Redvers Potter in this classic BBC comedy series from the prolific pen of Roy Clarke. Noel Dyson (Father, Dear Father) is his long-suffering wife, with comedy favourite John Barron (Yes Minister) as the vicar - his friend and drinking companion who shares a similar philosophy to Potter's. John Warner is "Tolly" Tolliver, Potter’s easily influenced and long suffering next-door neighbour. SERIES 2 - EPISODE 7 Potter has decided to try a new role as a tourist guide for foreigners - but his approach is more likely to lead to a declaration of war. Cast: Arthur Lowe - Redvers Potter Noel Dyson - Aileen Potter John Barron - The Vicar John Warner - 'Tolly' Tolliver Honor Shepherd - Diana Tolliver Brenda Cowling – Jane Written by Roy Clarke
