It sounds like it might well be sponsored by a tea or coffee company. It's also already on my Amazon wishlist and that is entirely your fault. Or maybe it's my fault for being easily intrigued by old TV. Either way, this sounds so good.
(There is probably something in which Terence Hardiman is not a Nazi, the demon headmaster or some other villain, but this is not it.)
There is - Cadfael! He played the second abbot, Abbot Radulfus. Which amused me as Michael Culver played Prior Robert who'd been angling for the abbot's job until Radulfus turned up. Terence Hardiman and Michael Culver were testy with each other in Secret Army too, so I just imagine Michael Culver being all, "Not him again!" when Terence Hardiman turned up to be the abbot. It's a lovely scene in Cadfael when Abbot Heribert says he's no longer the abbot.
ETA: The sounds confusing. Abbot Heribert had been the abbot and had to put up with Prior Robert breathing down his neck every two seconds to see if he'd shuffled off the mortal coil and left the job open for an ambitious prior to leap into. At the end of Monkshood, Heribert goes off to see his superiors and comes back to 'serve as a humble brother of the house under you'...and Prior Robert practically swells with smugness. He promptly deflates when Heribert introduces him to the new abbot (Abbot Radulfus) who's approximately the same age as Robert and looks healthy enough to see Robert off.
