Show from the 70s. I remember watching these series and looking forward to them as a kid in Ireland ! I was about 8 or 9 when I saw a non white person in the flesh for the first time. I remember standing and staring at this African nun from the Missions like some slack jawed yokel ! It was such a novelty. In Britain though, they had a lot of racial problems caused by the influx of Non white immigrants, so looking back on it, there were probably lots of racial undertones going on. There were still signs in British rental windows of "No Blacks, No Irish, No Dogs".
