Father, Dear Father - Season 1 (1968)

Karen has written a fictional adult book about the family with the "added colour" being provided by her sister Anna, which has embarassed their father Patrick because the girls have sent it it out to numerous publishers including Patricks. Patrick goes on a mission to track down each of the copies to destroy them and talk one adult material publisher out of publishing the book.

Anna has decided to marry her boyfriend for the week Cyril, but when Nanny is asked by Anna to soften Patrick up about the idea, Patrick misunderstands and thinks it is Nanny who is going to get married. When Cyril arrives for drinks Patrick is surprised to find a very young man, but Patrick finally catches on it is Anna who wants to get married which Patrick is strongly against.

Patrick is being secretive about where he is going at nights and the girls fear that he may be the Hampstead Heath Romeo,who makes unwanted advances to lone women. It turns out that he is taking dancing lessons secretly so that he can impress Georgie at the literary ball but unfortunately he trips and sprains his ankle and has to sit the dancing out.

Patrick is planning to spend the weekend in Brighton with Georgie - which means he will miss Anna's first night in 'The Sound of Music'. Nanny complicates things by leading Patrick's mother to believe he is going to visit her. Patrick cancels the visit to mother but uses her as an excuse whilst he heads for Brighton with Georgie. However a mix-up over suit-cases means that he ends up back in London for Anna's stage performance.
