Ray Galton RIP

Agreed.Hancock's Half Hour and Steptoe & Son, both brilliant. RIP

Pity Wilfred Brambell turned out to be a wrong-un !

the ramsey curse

Very sad news. He was a terrific writer. Steptoe & Son was brilliant. So good that the Americans copied it and called it Sanford & Son (Salvage Merchants). Hancock was very good too. Thanks Ray for all the laughs over the years. RIP.

At least the equally brilliant Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais are still living, creators of the super Likely Lads, Porridge and others.

Kenny.....Started watching old episodes of likely lads they are classics.

Indeed port', Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads in the 70s was superior to the original Likely Lads in the 60s imo. You're probably watching the 70s series.
