It was made for the [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] network by [[ITV Yorkshire|Yorkshire Television]], and based on ''Squire Haggard's Journal'' by [[Michael Green (humourist)|Michael Green]], more famous for his ''The Art of Coarse...'' books.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/h/haggard_1299001342.shtml |title=BBC - Comedy Guide - Haggard |website=www.bbc.co.uk |access-date=12 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20040915212001/http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/articles/h/haggard_1299001342.shtml |archive-date=15 September 2004 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

The series is set during 1777–1778, in the [[Georgian era|Georgian]] era, and was about the exploits of Squire Haggard, the Squire's 25-year-old son Roderick, and their servant Grunge.

The show makes use of the production style known as [[breaking the fourth wall]] as Fanny Foulacre, Roderick's girlfriend, makes [[asides]] to the camera, commenting upon the situations she finds herself in.

The poverty-stricken Squire Amos Haggard, who is a former friend of the [[George IV of the United Kingdom|Prince of Wales]], is desperate for money and is always plotting for ways in which he can recoup the family fortune.

The Squire's son, Roderick, is idealistic and falls in love very easily. Roderick is more interested in beautiful young ladies than he is in money, and his foolishness often brings his father's schemes undone.

Nathanial Grunge, their servant, is richer than his two masters, and would like to be free of them to pursue his own dreams (something he finds impossible to do because the Squire often uses Grunge's money in his [[get-rich-quick scheme]]s).
