What happens

L for Lester is a BBC sitcom first broadcast in 1982, starring Brian Murphy. The programme followed the misfortunes of a small town driving instructor. It was intended as a new vehicle for Murphy after his previous hit show - George and Mildred - was axed following the sudden death of Yootha Joyce in 1980. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
