Based on the pseudonymous Timothy Lea novels by screenwriter Christopher Wood (\u003cem\u003eThe Spy Who Loved Me\u003c\/em\u003e), each instalment follows the fortunes of the feckless and accident-prone – yet seemingly irresistible – Timmy (Askwith) as he gets embroiled in the money-making schemes of his brother-in-law Sidney Noggett (Anthony Booth, \u003cem\u003eCorruption\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fun starts in \u003cem\u003eConfessions of a Window Cleaner\u003c\/em\u003e, as Timmy must satisfy the demands of a clientele of lonely housewives whilst attempting to woo police officer Liz (Linda Hayden, \u003cem\u003eThe Blood on Satan’s Claw\u003c\/em\u003e). In \u003cem\u003eConfessions of a Pop Performer\u003c\/em\u003e, Timmy endures the ups and downs (and ins and outs) of the music business when he joins a band managed by Sid. With \u003cem\u003eConfessions of a Driving Instructor\u003c\/em\u003e, Timmy finds his female students fumbling for his gearstick. Finally, in \u003cem\u003eConfessions from a Holiday Camp\u003c\/em\u003e, entertainment officer Timmy struggles to organise a beauty contest under the watchful eye of the camp’s tyrannical new manager.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDirected by Val Guest (\u003cem\u003eThe Full Treatment\u003c\/em\u003e) and Norman Cohen (\u003cem\u003eStand Up, Virgin Soldiers\u003c\/em\u003e), this classic quartet features a supporting cast of British comedy greats, including Bill Maynard (\u003cem\u003eOh No It’s Selwyn Froggitt\u003c\/em\u003e), Doris Hare (\u003cem\u003eOn the Buses\u003c\/em\u003e), Windsor Davies (\u003cem\u003eEndless Night\u003c\/em\u003e), John Le Mesurier (\u003cem\u003eThe Wrong Box\u003c\/em\u003e), and Liz Fraser (\u003cem\u003eAdventures of a Taxi Driver\u003c\/em\u003e).
