キーワード Short Sighted

米大リーグ、インディアンズの新オーナーは、自分の好きなマイアミに球団本拠地を移すため、観客動員数を最低レベルにまで落とそうと三流選手を集めるが……。チャーリー・シーンらの好演が光る、笑って泣けるスポーツ・コメディの決定版。

Clarence is a 1988 BBC situation comedy starring Ronnie Barker and Josephine Tewson, written by Ronnie Barker under the pseudonym "Bob Ferris". It was Barker's final sitcom appearance before his retirement. Barker had previously faced some criticism over his employment of a stammer for comedic effect in Open All Hours. However, the slapstick potential of a short-sighted furniture shifter must have seemed irresistible. The series was inspired by The Removals Person by Hugh Leonard, an earlier programme in the 1971 LWT comedy series, Six Dates With Barker. The house of Jane Travers, which inspired the opening titles, is located on Malvern Road in Cheltenham.
