Synoposis


The domineering Maggie Robinson (Peggy Mount - the 'Lollipop' of the title) and her timid husband Reg aka 'Mr. Mole' (Hugh Lloyd) are a comically-mismatched couple living in Fulham, London (they married late in life, 'Lollipop' having had aged parents to look after and 'Mr. Mole' having waited for 'Miss Right'). Their domestic bliss is interrupted by the arrival from Africa of Reg's brother, the brash, workshy Bruce (Rex Garner) and his hypochrondriac wife Violet (Pat Coombs). The comedy revolves partly around Reg and Maggie's attempts to get Bruce employment. Another feature is Reg's sinus trouble (which prevents him fully appreciating his wife's cooking).
Guest stars included Gordon Jackson, Michael Bates, Michael Knowles, John Clegg, Bill Pertwee, Carmel McSharry and Erik Chitty. Producers were David Askey and later Shaun O'Riordan.
The second series featured an electronic instrumental theme tune (the first series had Mount and Lloyd singing a love duet). For the second series, the title was changed to Lollipop. A special vignette of the show was produced for a Christmas compilation in 1971.
A DVD has been released of the only two surviving episodes (the others having been presumed lost), "A Marked Man" and "Lollipop and the Two Bares". Although the two series were produced in colour, the surviving episodes are only available in monochrome.
