This is my favourite tv show that dates back from the early 1960's. I needed this particular series of episodes to make my collection full from 1 - 8 series.

What more could be said about Steptoe & Son that hasn't already been said. Series six was supposed to be all in colour, but due to the wisdom of the BBC, the colour in 75% of this series been lost. Only 2 episodes are in colour but thanks to Ray Galton & Alan Simpson we still have the other episodes to watch. The 6 episodes in B&W are absolutely hilarious. The whole series is magnificent, but it would be AWESOME to watch them in colour. If this DVD is missing from your collection,then buy now. You won't be disappointed.
If you are a Steptoe fan then this a must for you. Having said that, I did not feel that it was quite up to standard of the previous ones. The relationship between father and son and the story line are somehow much sadder, and this detracts a little from the overall 'comedy'. Nonetheless, worth watching.
its an excellent dvd and highly sought after... they are classics, motionless in time, and cant be redone ever again by the bbc...some thing so simple in characters makes the episodes so brill to watch....it brings a laughter.....
Having converted most of my old video collection to DVD I was thrilled to find this film gem in digital format. If you watch this in widescreen format, it really does the battle scene great justice; coupled with surround sound, you'll be gripped by the amazing cinematography. I would recommend the director's cut that includes scenes about the relationship between the lead character and his estranged wife and helps you to understand the motivation behind his decision. The run time is 183 minutes for the directors cut and 120 minutes for the cinema version. I was, however, disappointed by the lack of extras, which any fan of this classic would expect to be included. There's only a 20-minute interview with the director and other shot "making-of" vignettes.
