I also remember watching and enjoying the series as a young boy and apart form the three comments above I have never come across anyone else who remembers it. I have recently conducted a little research on-line and it appears the series consisting of 5 episodes, was originally shown LIVE at 5.pm on a Tuesday evening between 14th February and 16th March 1954. It was later filmed (partly with the same cast) and broadcast on a Sunday evening between 4th January and 1st February 1959. Times varied between 5.35pm and 5.40pm. I was born in June 1951 and have no doubt it was the filmed 1959 version I remember. Most of this information I found by visiting and clicking on Issues whereby you can see scans of archived copies of The Radio Times. The 1954 entries give content details of the individual programmes.
