Sadly I have both the Inman DVD's, I found them just about watchable and compared to so called modern day comedy, it is nice to see some long forgotten actors earning enough to pay the rent

A DVD I did find a while ago and I enjoyed it was Brenda Blethyn (Vera) in a comedy called Kate and Koji, though not that old had some good moments

Thank you Leigh for producing a fascinating insight into these "forgotten turkeys" I definitely recall vaguely the two John Inman shows and everything you stated rings true . You do wonder why, when still basking in the glory of AYBS, John Inman requested a comedy series to be written for him, especially as AYBS was still being shown. It just doesn't make sense, was it a fear of being typecast but that doesn't stack up with Odd Man out or was he simply chasing money. I , gladly from what you said, had neither heard or seen the other two series.

At the moment K&K is a bit too recent to be forgotten, despite me forgetting about it!

Thanks @captain clutterbuck ... It might have been to avoid typecasting, but I suppose he didn't have any input on the script - and Vince Powell does seem to have written some less than successful shows. Trouble is, now you know about the other shows, they might become a video earworm!
