Notes

Bowler was a Fenn Street Gang spin-off,which,although,written after Please Sir! and The Fenn Street Gang,chronicled the earlier adventures of former pupil Craven`s shady boss,Stanley Bowler-the Del Boy of his generation.George Baker stars as the East End villain with social aspirations,while the series was once again penned by veteran sitcom writers John Esmonde and Bob Larbey.Soap Legends Johnny Briggs and Wendy Richard are among the guest stars in this wryly humourous look at one man`s attempts to breach the barriers of the English class system.Stanley Bowler has a finger in every profitable pie,and his money can buy everything but the thing he wants most:class.His unstoppable ambition to move in higher social circles sees him embarking on a series of ill-fated schemes-including opening his very own gentlemen`s club,conspicuously embracing high culture,and even trying to set himself up as a laird.Sadly,while he stumbles from one faux pas to another,the doors of Society remain firmly closed.There are 13 episodes in 1 series.Produced by LWT for ITV.Also,there`s a complete series available on DVD by Network DVD.
