Fiddlers Three

Fiddlers Three, now there's a title that doesn't cross the Atlantic very well. It has nothing to do with violins. Fiddlers Three was a 1991 Yorkshire sitcom written by Eric Chappell, who also gave us Rising Damp, Only When I Laugh, Duty Free, about half of The Bounder episodes, and contributed episodes to Home To Roost, Haggard and Singles. The cast included Peter Davison (Love For Lydia, All Creatures Great And Small, Dr. Who, Holding The Fort, A Very Peculiar Practice, Campion, Ain't Misbehavin', At Home With The Braithwaites, Fear Stress & Anger, Distant Shores), Paula Wilcox (Dustbinmen, The Lovers, Man About The House, The Smoking Room, Miss Jones & Son, Blue Heaven), Peter Blake (Dear John, Watch This Space, Agony), Charles Kay (To Serve Them All My Days, Edge Of Darkness, Law & Disorder).
This was a reworking of an earlier Chappell sitcom called The Squirrels. There's some contributed info on the IMDB site. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0101098/
