Dogfood Dan & The Carmarthen Cowboy + Roll Over Beethoven

Some 1980's British comedy. I thought I had posted these here, but it appears I never did.

Dogfood Dan and the Carmarthen Cowboy began as a TV movie in 1982 (included here). Six years later it was adapted as a series, but with different actors. The TV series starred Malcolm Storry (currently in Doc Martin, recently in Father Brown, The Shadow Line and New World), Peter Blake (Penmarric, Watch This Space, Agony, Dear John, Split Ends, Fiddlers Three), Lizzie Mickery (Tenko) and Arbel Jones (Heartbeat, 2point4 Children).
The TV movie starred David Daker (Boon, Z Cars, Dr Who, Hallelujah!, Moonfleet), Gareth Thomas (Distant Shores, The Citadel, Parkin's Patch, How Green Was My Valley), Diana Davies (How We Used To Live, A Family at War, Emmerdale) and Helen Cotterill.


Roll Over Beethoven is a Marks & Gran comedy starring Liza Goddard (Skippy, Take Three Girls, The Brothers, Yes Honestly, Watch This Space, Pig in the Middle, That's Love), Richard Vernon (The Man In Room 17 / The Fellows, Duchess of Duke Street, The Sandbaggers, Bognor, Nanny, L For Lester, Paradise Postponed, A Gentleman's Club, Class Act), Nigel Planer (The Young Ones, Shine On Harvey Moon, Filthy Rich & Catflap, King & Castle, Bonjour la Class, The Grimley's, The Comic Strip Presents), Desmond McNamara (Hazell, Streets Apart). There are two missing episodes.
