Jasper Pye, a refined civil servant, is sent to the Suffolk/Norfolk borders to close the forgotten Government Office of Output Statistics which has long outlived its usefulness. Instead he becomes seduced by the small idyllic world he finds there, making his task rather more difficult than he had imagined. He soon finds himself becoming entangled with the local aristocrat's three beautiful daughters.

I am Greek living in a tiny village in southern Peloponnese. I find British productions fascinating with an intelligent sense of humor. Thank you YouTube..
-
What an absolute delight!! One of the pearls of British TV.

RIP Leslie Phillips, what a gem of an actor he was!

All the railway sequences were filmed at the North Norfolk Railway. "Aracady Halt" was in fact Kelling Heath Park Halt which serves the holiday village there. I was (and still am) a volunteer at the railway and it was my job during filming to take up the actors' and film crews' lunches!!! Amazingly, I have never seen until now the finished product......................

Sometimes the algorithm just nails it! I have never seen or heard about this series but after pressing play I could not stop watching. Really love the carefree yet twisted atmosphere of the whole thing! And the best part is: there's still two episodes to go! Thank you for uploading!

I was born in the U.S. and now live in Thailand for the past 25 years I am 67 with Scottish, Irish, English, and German ancestry and never heard of this delightful show, Thank you very much for putting it on, Peace! This is so much better then the violent movies that Hollywood likes to put out. A very nice peaceful show that had me laughing quite a bit.

How else can one put it, than thank God for British comedy? This one is a true treasure. So elated to have come across it. Enjoyed every second. Most appreciated that you have made this available to all of us to enjoy. I was in stitches all the time.

I remember loving this series when it came out 25 years ago. Then it was impossible to find for a long time. It's SO cute! It's a great emotional relief time for us overworked modern folks, to imagine going to a lovely, calming, pretty place with no stress (and a train to play with). Sounds like heaven.

Utterly delightful from start to finish.

We were trying to remember some of our favourite programmes last week - one of them was 'Love on the Branch Line'. We were delighted to be able to watch it again on your channel. The sound and video quality was excellent, by the way. Those were the days when you could hear what the actors were saying and enjoy well-lit scenes filmed with a steady camera! Thanks very much for making it available.

Can’t say how much I enjoyed this gem of a film it brought a smile to my day and some memories of my youth to me as well. Only British cinema can make such great classics if you will as these. Thank you for posting!
