Outline

The sixth and final series of Hugh and I showed Terry and Hugh on a cruise, Hugh having won £5,000 on the Premium Bonds. In Hugh and I Spy, they have returned but they get unwillingly involved in espionage and double-dealing. Each episode ended in a cliffhanger.

All the episodes were thought to be lost until 2013 when the sixth episode was recovered.[1] (See Wiping).

Hugh and I Spy Episode 6 – "Tea or Coffin" – came from the Patrick Duffy collection. This was sold through the medium of eBay to the highest bidder in March 2013.
