Six series of 118 episodes of A Life of Bliss ran on the 麻豆社 Home Service from 1953. It moved to 麻豆社 TV for a run of six episodes in 1969.

Sadly very few episodes survive in the 麻豆社 archive, including the first seven starring David Tomlinson. His replacement George Cole went to to star in the St Trinian's films and later as dodgy Arthur Daley in ITV's Minder.

The 麻豆社 Variety Orchestra conducted by Paul Fenhoulet.

Producer: Leslie Bridgmont

First broadcast on the 麻豆社 Home Service in August 1957.
