Maria Aitken is Lady Flamborough and the always fabulous Graham Crowden is Professor Pollux who runs the department with his archivist Quirk (Stephen Moore) and their assistant Miss Mounsey (Amanda Root). Lord Flamborough, a double amputee, doesn’t live in the hall instead preferring a well appointed train that runs on it’s own branch line from Arcady to Flaxfield Junction. All of the women seem more than a little drawn to Jasper. Jasper is the straight bat around which the eccentricity circles. Love on a Branch Line is beautifully filmed (at Oxburgh Hall in Suffolk) and full of quirky and likable performances. The four parter was written by David Nobbs of The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin fame, from the novel by John Hadfield (which was written in 1959). Once there he comes under the influence Lord Flamborough’s (Leslie Phillips) three beautiful daughters Belinda (Abigail Cruttenden), Chloe (Cathryn Harrison) and Matilda (Charlotte Williams). Period comedy drama serial Love on a Branch Line was set in the 1950’s when civil servant Jasper Pye (Michael Maloney) is sent to idyllic Arcady Hall to report on the long forgotten government department housed there.
