Matchmakers galore target terribly shy and awkward bachelor David Bliss, who is feeling lost without a girlfriend...

Godfrey Harrison's sitcom about bashful, bumbling bachelor David Alexander Bliss began in 1953 on the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ Service and ran for six series of 118 episodes concluding in 1969 when a TV series was made. Sadly only 6 radio episodes survived in the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ archive.
For the first 7 episodes, David Tomlinson played David, but the rest starred the future star of The St Trinian's films, destined to find great fame as the dodgy Arthur Daley in ITV's Minder - George Cole.
