Good - Harmless fun and plenty of laughter - took me back to my younger years and what I use to watch on TV. Would recommend to anyone who has a Sunday afternoon to fill ..... I'm sure it will bring a smile to your face.

It has always been impossible to find anything negative to say about Steptoe and Son, as the two main protagonists are always on top form. From their first appearance on the Beeb's Playhouse Theatre, meant to be a one-off, they captivated, charmed, amused, and despaired, as they reached through the small screen and found instant empathy in my critical soul. It is tragic that they are destined to fail at every endeavour they undertake, but it is this sense of overarching tragedy that allows us to laugh at our own failures writ large through the characterisation of two of England's most accomplished Shakespearian Thespians. Steptoe and Son is a series of half hour episodes and a some full length filnms that are viewable over and over,. and that never fail to reach our humanity. They are works of art, rich in comic tragedy, but with the ultimate message that in contrast, our lives might not be so bad after all. If you do not know Steptoe and Son, you will be in for a cultural shock tinged with arcane and delectable delight as you watch brethlessly as two mutually dependent and loveable but revulsive characters take low comedy to new heights. Look and see for yourself. Then, if you feel that I have misled you,. I will send you a bag of salt and vinegar crisps by way of compensation! If you are American, substitles would be useful, but you will eventually get the hang of their Cockney patois. Ronnie 6562Read full review
