The Magnificent Evans
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Magnificent Evans was a 1984 BBC situation comedy written by Roy Clarke and starring Ronnie Barker, Sharon Morgan and Myfanwy Talog.
[edit] Plot
Ronnie Barker played Welsh photographer Plantagenet Evans, a tactless, but likeable bully with an intolerance towards fools and an over-developed sense of his own abilities. Evans's long-time fiancée, Rachel, also doubled as his assistant and she had a full-time job steering his lusting eyes away from other women and back to his job.
It was written by Roy Clarke, who also wrote Open All Hours for Barker. However, only one series was made and neither Evans, nor the premise had the chance to develop any further. The series is now available on DVD
