Ep 12. Danny's English Friend

Danny's English Friend is the twelfth episode of the tenth season of The Danny Thomas Show. In this episode, Danny's friend from England, Sir Christopher Tafft (played by Nigel Bruce), pays him a visit in the United States.

Danny is excited to show Sir Christopher around New York City, and the two embark on a sightseeing tour. However, Sir Christopher is not used to the fast-paced American lifestyle and becomes overwhelmed by the hustle and bustle of the city. Danny tries to help his friend adjust by taking him to a baseball game and introducing him to some American friends, but Sir Christopher is still uncomfortable.

Meanwhile, Danny's daughter Terry is interested in dating a British boy named Timmy, who is the son of one of Sir Christopher's business associates. Sir Christopher disapproves of the relationship and tries to separate the two by inviting Timmy's family to a fancy dinner party. However, the plan backfires when Timmy's family hits it off with Danny's family and Sir Christopher is left feeling isolated and out of place.

As the episode progresses, Sir Christopher begins to appreciate some aspects of American culture and even helps Danny realize the value of being an individual, rather than conforming to societal expectations. By the end of the episode, Danny and Sir Christopher have both learned important lessons about friendship and the importance of open-mindedness.

Overall, Danny's English Friend is a heartwarming episode that explores the cultural differences between America and England while showcasing the power of true friendship.
