What happens

Toad of Toad Hall is a 1946 British TV adaptation of the 1929 play Toad of Toad Hall by A. A. Milne, itself an adaptation of the 1908 novel The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Grahame. It was produced by Michael Barry who presented the same play again the following year with many different cast members. It was an early television appearance by Kenneth More who reprised the role several times on stage. The adaptation aired every Christmas for four years' running. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
