In 1962 there was a short-lived TV sitcom version, OUR MAN HIGGINS, starring Stanley Holloway and Audrey Totter. I've got the debut episode on DVD.

Hal

I watched that back in '62 but didn't realize it was originally a radio show.

Michael

I wish there were more of these episodes around. I have heard them all several times but enjoy listening to them over and over.

This situation comedy stars Harry McNaughton as a British butler that is bequeathed to an average American family. The program was the summer replacement for Bob Hope on NBC in 1951.

IT'S HIGGINS, SIR

My father's cousin, Marianne Turpie was married to Harry McNuaghton. Dad said that we used to get Christmas cards from them, but of course, they're long gone now. This sparked my curiosity in searching out "It Pays To Be Ignorant" episodes. This sustaining sitcom was an interesting discovery! Neat to haer Harry playing something other than a befuddled nincompoop for a change!
