The Misfit is an ATV sitcom series starring Ronald Fraser, Patrick Newell and Simon Ward.
Basil Allenby-Johnson ("Badger" for short) returns from a colonial life in Malaya to an England he no longer recognises.
"[1] The character of Badger originated a couple of years earlier in an episode of the BBC drama The Troubleshooters, also written by Clarke.
[2] Each episode of The Misfit explored Badger's response to a different aspect of modern life in a Britain which had just emerged from the Swinging Sixties.
[1] Nostalgia Central noted that, although the series "started well", the quality of the scripts "deteriorated, the situations became exhausted, and Fraser's persona was reduced to an irritating whiner".
