The programme followed the misfortunes of a small town driving instructor. It was intended as a new vehicle for Murphy after his previous hit show - ''[[George and Mildred]]'' - was retired following the sudden death of [[Yootha Joyce]] in 1980.<br /> <br /> ==Premise==<br /> Lester Small is a driving instructor in a quiet [[West Country]] town with quite a reputation - for taking on clients that cause havoc and mayhem whenever they are on the road. His most consistent pupil is the hapless Mrs Davies, who usually drives into a perilous situation in each episode where Lester's car is usually either badly damaged or destroyed in the process (e.g. though a [[level crossing]] onto railway tracks, into a river, onto a [[firing range]], and with a leaking petrol tank (on two occasions; the first time after Mrs Davies crashes into a barn, the second when a passing cyclist discards a cigarette).<br /> <br /> None of these antics ingratiate Lester to either the local police chief (with whom he has a long standing feud), or with his bank manager - from whom he keeps having to borrow more money to repair or replace the damaged vehicles. All this puts a strain on his long suffering wife (Amanda Barrie) and secretary (Linda Robson).<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> * {{IMDb title|0083439}}<br /> * {{British Comedy Guide|tv|l_for_lester}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:1980s British sitcoms]]<br /> [[Category:1982 British television series debuts]]<br /> [[Category:1982 British television series endings]]<br /> [[Category:BBC television sitcoms]]<br /> [[Category:English-language television shows]]</div>
