I had an English auntie who came to visit. We kids told her she just had to watch Francie(Riki Fulton) and Josie(Jack Milroy) “cos they were brilliant”.
She sat through it rather stony-faced then suggested they weren’t a patch on Steptoe and Son. And she was so right. The way they tormented each other! And as you say the faces the old boy pulled. Still love watching it. |

Leonard Rossiter was in one of the episodes. He was a comedy genius.

Foyles - the "old boy" as you put it, Wilfred Brambell, was only 49 years old when he started playing Steptoe, he was still only 61 when it finished !
Harry H Corbett was only 13 years younger than him. |

Leonard Rossiter played an escape lag who turned up at the Steptow gaff looking for food and money etc. By the end he felt sorry for them sharing his few ciggies he had left.
Well worth a watch if it's available on the cable channels. |

Wilfrid Brambell was just about to begin shooting the second series of iconic BBC sitcom Steptoe and Son in November 1962 when he was arrested outside a public lavatory in London’s Shepherd's Bush Green, and charged with "persistently importuning for an immoral purpose" under the Sexual Offences Act. The actor, who was riding the crest of a wave thanks to his role as the cantankerous Albert Steptoe in the show, was apprehended by two undercover policemen, for what the prosecution claimed was “looking and staring at people and smiling at them

After the tv series finished, both actors found themselves typecast, and resorted to touring stage shows abroad. Wilfred Bramble was increasingly alcoholic and unreliable, causing friction between himself and Harry H Corbett. On tour in New Zealand, Bramble was bring interviewed live on a radio show to plug the Tour. Asked by the Host/DJ what he thought about the Venue, he said on air "I hate your feckin' Town and I hate your feckin' Cathedrals"

Best Steptoe episode for me is the one where Harold is in an amateur drama club and they have a rehersal at the house. Trevor Bannister (Mr Lucas Are you being served) is the producer and as always the old guy manages to get into the play and upstage Harold. One of the funniest sitcom episodes of all time for me.

Yes Ponch , The Rise and Fall of Reginald Perrin.
That's what i thought you were referring to by posting " I didn't get where i am today by " as that was the C.J punchline throughout the show as Reggie's boss and the company was Sunshine Desserts. |
