Lost TV comedy 12
Love Thy Neighbour was a popular British sitcom that aired 1972 to 1976. Three years after it ended, one of the main characters of the show arrived in Australia where 7 new episodes were produced. While the UK show has been commercially available for several years, I don't believe the seven Australian episodes have ever been. Of all the UK sitcoms that spun off into short-lived Australian versions, this one has the least to do with the original. The base of this is the tables are turned on Eddie Booth who is now a pommy fish-out-of-water in Oz. However, without his wife Joan and neighbor/coworker Bill Reynolds around to foil his schemes, it isn't much fun. Sort of like watching Alf Garnet solo.
