Civil servant Jasper Pye is sent to report on a long-forgotten government research unit at Arcady Hall in Suffolk. Here he encounters the gloriously eccentric Lord. Love on a Branch Line Home Episodes Adaptation of the John Hadfield novel. A fete, the trains, cricket, and the comedy of a proper, stuffy - and unhappy-conformist experiencing uninhibited and off- bounds enjoyments, is a larky and moonbeam relaxation. Jasper Pye is ready to quit the MOD when he is sent to Arcady. Arcady- and its greenswards, its moats and castles, its family feuds and alliances, and the uncluttered, open, freedom of sex, drink, talk and action - is just that for Jasper who learns to take embarrassing moments with a leap and whose decision - when the project is closed down - is to depart from this small stay in paradise with a less flamboyant female than those he has sampled. ![]() There the private railway, the crippled peer and his gardening wife, and his out-down-and-forth-right daughters quite devastate Jasper while the life of the Ministry's staff entrances him. ![]() A fanciful bit centers around Jasper Pye, deep in Civil Servitude, ready to bolt when a chance for a new assignment -investigating ""Output Statistics"" which has been forgotten since 1940, takes him to the Earl of Flamborough's estate. ![]()
