The Last of the Baskets	comment	The Last of the Baskets is a Britcom that aired on ITV from 1971-72, starring Arthur Lowe, Ken Jones, and Patricia Hayes.When the 12th Earl of Clogborough (Richard Hurndall) dies after holding his title for 93 years, his heir is an unlikely one. The heir in question is Clifford Basket (Jones), the son of naughty cousin Clarence, a lower-class man recently fired from a job Oop North in a doorbell factory where he worked as a boiler room sweeper.Inheriting a stack of unpaid bills and Clogborough Hall, a run-down mansion in Little Clogborough-in-the-Marsh, Clifford and his mother, Alfreda (Hayes), move into their previously unknown family home, much to the dismay of the snooty butler, Redvers Bodkin (Lowe), who cares not for their lower-class ways.While still existing in the archives, the series is unable to be watched as it hasn't been re-aired since 1972 nor released on home media or streaming, but a domestic recording of the series' theme has been uploaded to YouTube, taken from the original transmission of "A Chip off the Old Block", which can be heard here.
