Taxi!

Taxi! is a BBC television comedy-drama series that aired in 1963 and 1964. Created by Ted Willis, who had previously developed Dixon of Dock Green, he was well aware of taxi drivers' tendency to share stories, and intended twelve individual plays for what became the first series. The series stars Sid James as cab firm owner and driver Sid Stone. Similar to his role in the nearly contemporary film Carry On Cabby, this was more of a drama with humor; Jack Rosenthal scripted a few episodes, and Bill Owen appeared as the cab firm's co-owner Fred Cudell, with Ray Brooks as driver Terry Mills.
