I wonder whether Flambards was affected by the Yorkshire TV strike of Christmas 1978, and that the 1979 episodes were actually left over from the previous year?
It made me think considering that the late Sir Paul Fox who has recently passed away at the age of 98, was actually boss of Yorkshire TV at the time.

Anyone remember it? Set in the 1910s, very early aeroplanes shown, unusual music with a musical saw or theremin in it. Any suggestions of what to watch when we're done with it? Final episode coming up for us tomorrow night.
I recall watching Flambards with my housemates back in my student days. Must have been a repeat as it was around 1981/2.
One extended scene featuring the old aeroplane and that weird theme tune was really trippy. Of course it helped if you were a bit stoned watching it!
