Thanks to you I have just found it on UA-cam, all 3 seasons of 6 episodes each (and each episode is over 3 hours!). It was created by Alfred Shaughnessy, who was the chief writer and script editor of Upstairs Downstairs. Put "The Cedar Tree TV series" in the UA-cam search box and you will get the entire program, all episodes coming up first thing. One set was posted by Raymond Smith and one by Dame Penmarric, but they look to be identical - choose one of those, you can play them in order. I am going to begin watching it tonight!

    Brilliant! What a fabulous cast. Susan Engel, Cyril Luckham, Joyce Carey, but I don’t remember this at all!!! The opening and closing* credit music sounds like that from. . . .??? Oh what's the tv series called chums?
    I was 23 in '76, and if it were an afternoon programme then that’s probably why I didn’t see it because I was building up my career in the mid 70s. Might also be because I might have been in bed sleeping because I was on night duty 💤💤
    It's like some of the pop songs of the 70s, heard most of them but couldn’t name one of them! Joyce Carey, on the other, I can name loads of her films. She was a real stalwart of British cinema, and she lived to be nearly a hundred I recall.
    The music sounds like . . it's gone!

I'm now in my 60s and I have a lovely cottage garden with two oak trees. Not quite the cedar tree, and the house is a cottage, not a big house, but i love it. If someone could magic up a mature Cedat tree, that would be perfect
