It involved the story of the upper class Bourne family before the turn of the Second World War.[1] The main setting is Larkfield Manor, the family home set in Herefordshire, in the grounds of which is the cedar tree.
The Cedar Tree was made by Associated Television Productions (ATV) and recorded at their studios at Elstree. Two established cast members were the veteran actress Joyce Carey and Susan Skipper, who played one of the Bourne family's daughters.
Two other noted actors involved were Philip Latham as Commander Bourne, and Cyril Luckham, as Charles Ashley, the benevolent grandfather. The first two series were shown on ITV in the afternoon in a thirty-minute twice weekly format, the final series was given an evening prime time slot and the episodes were extended to sixty minutes, and in a bizarre bit of casting Jack Watling who had been playing Captain Julian Palmer, an old friend of the Bourne family, in series 2, took over the role of Arthur Bourne in series 3.
In February 2013 it was announced[2] that the first 1976 series was to be released on DVD. A complete box set of all three series has since been released.
