Abigail and Roger was a British sitcom that aired on the BBC Television Service in 1956. It was written by Kelvin Sheldon. Filmed in black-and-white, all nine episodes of Abigail and Roger are thought to have been destroyed.
The programme saw Julie Webb and David Drummond play Abigail and Roger, an engaged couple living in London bedsits.
Abigail and Roger are an engaged couple living separately in bedsits in London. Abigail was a shorthand typist, who was outspoken and very capable domestically, she could mend a fuse, cook, drive etc. Roger worked in the City and was into keeping fit and planning for their future. Much of the humour arose from the different attitudes to life, and their interest in the attractions of London.
The show was originally meant to run for thirteen weeks, as a summer replacement for the soap opera The Grove Family, but in fact only ran for nine weeks. All nine episodes were later wiped and none exist in the archives as of 2009.
