Myself and Si podding later tonight. Here’s a clue to the episode we’re reviewing:

Random trivia. The October 1964 General Election. “Steptoe and Son” moved from its regular slot of 8pm to 9pm, for one week. Labour Leader Harold Wilson had requested the schedule change so did not clash with polling! 😆 GE polling hours were not extended to 10pm until 1970.

Steptoe & Son - Back in Fashion (4th August 1974). Harold attempts to charm a number of models - led by Carol (Madeline Smith). Unfortunately for Harold, Carol draws the wrong conclusion from his dark glasses ...

Harry H. Corbett and Wilfrid Brambell interviewed on the set of Steptoe and Son Ride Again.

Absolutely iconic pronunciation of ‘direct debit’, here

Just started watching this vid, and I can honestly say: WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK

Steptoe's very silly (and superb) "Divided We Stand" was on BBC4 the other day (watch and marvel here) www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p... That 1972 run of Steptoe is *ridiculously* strong. Seven episodes, *all* of them great - ending with my single favourite half hour of sitcom ("The Desperate Hours").

Before he was cast in Steptoe some people called him Britain's answer to Marlon Brando. He was an amazing actor
