About The Gnomes of Dulwich

The Gnomes of Dulwich ended on June 16, 1969, on BBC Two.

This comedy series from 1969 revolved around three stone gnomes named Big, Small, and Old, who lived in the front garden of No. 25 Telegraph Road. The show depicted their seemingly peaceful lives—Big fishing, Old sleeping with his spade, and Small feeding his frog—while hinting at the underlying troubles they faced, especially with their neighbors. It explored themes of friendship and the humorous challenges of everyday life through the perspective of these inanimate garden ornaments.

The series starred Hugh Lloyd as Small, Terry Scott as Big, and John Clive as Old. Each episode lasted approximately 30 minutes. The show was a lighthearted look at the interactions of these characters, set against the backdrop of suburban life in the late 1960s. Although it only aired for a short period, it remains a nostalgic example of British comedy from that era.
