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.[http://lostshows.com/default.aspx?programme=91fc0207-1b42-49c2-beea-a513e76605f7 Hugh and I Spy], lostshows.com (See Wiping).
