==Synopsis==
Neville Sutcliffe ([[John Inman]]), the owner of a [[Blackpool]] fish-and-chip shop, inherits his father's [[Rock (confectionery)|rock]] factory in [[Littlehampton]]. The series revolves around his adventures, which include learning to drive a car, going to Paris and swimming The Channel.<ref name="BBC" />

==Characters==
* '''Neville Sutcliffe''' ([[John Inman]]), the camp, simpering, illegitimate son of Herbert Sutcliffe, who left Neville and his half-sister Dorothy half of his factory and house. He sells his Blackpool fish-and-chip shop to his friend Bobby so that he and Dorothy can pay the bank the £30,000 that their father owed.
* '''Dorothy Sutcliffe''' ([[Josephine Tewson]]), the flustering, legitimate daughter of Herbert Sutcliffe and his wife. She doesn't take to Neville immediately, but later sees through the exterior and accepts him into the family.
* '''Ma''' ([[Avril Angers]]), the sweet, simple-natured Ma has worked for Herbert for many years. She is distinguished by her white turban and hair curler. It is thought that she and Herbert had an affair.
* '''Wilf''' ([[Peter Butterworth]]), the quiet, friendly man in charge at Littlehampton Rock Factory. He had worked there for almost twenty years when Herbert died, and is now the rock-puller. He lodges with Dorothy and Neville.
* '''Marilyn''' ([[Vivienne Johnson]]), the sex-obsessed Marilyn spends her time at Littlehampton using her knees to bend candy bananas. She speaks with a distinct Western accent. She is very flirtatious, especially towards Neville, whom she calls 'Mr. Neville'. Johnson played the role of young mister Grace's nurse in ''[[Are You Being Served?]]''.
* '''Cleo''' (Glenna Forster-Jones), the only black member of the staff, is not from [[Jamaica]], [[Trinidad]] or [[Barbados]], but from [[Cockfosters]], much to Neville's surprise. She is against people who judge others by their colour. Cleo is a kind person with a sense of humour.
* '''Percy''' (Jan Harding), the simple, quiet member of Littlehampton Rock Works. He pours the rock out into the pit where it is made.
* '''Auntie Cissie''' ([[Betty Alberge]]), Bobby's aunt, who helps him in the chip shop. She keeps wandering off and hanging up while on the telephone.
