I wondered the same thing, but then again, the concept does show up in 
other places (but imho nowhere is it quite as similar, and jkr was the 
right age in the 70s to watch the show).

In the US it was on Nickelodeon back in 1981-83, then they did a 
mediocre remake in the early 90s. The original series had random 
appearances from David Prowse, pre-Darth, and Peter Davidson, pre-Who, 
in a v funny role, and wig!
