@OmarRaza @FagsMagsandBags Great show. But you’re not my mum.

[SteveTaylore-Knowles @Stevetk01]

@BritComPod BTW, good chat on a great Steptoe and Son episode. The way Harry H. uses the charity dogs is real craft.

[SteveTaylore-Knowles @Stevetk01]

@BritComPod I wonder if there’s a bit of ‘surviving show bias’ going on, since the 70s survives in a way the 60s doesn’t.

[SteveTaylore-Knowles @Stevetk01]

@BritComPod This might be a starting point, showing that the Christmas special was certainly a thing in the US in the 60s: https://t.co/mPi624fFCJ

@TheShowstoppers Act 2 opens with an outbreak of botulism traced back to the singing sausage!

[SteveTaylore-Knowles @Stevetk01]

The only problem with this, @RobertWRossEsq, is that it opens up so many wonderful comedy rabbit holes that I fear I may be lost to my loved ones for months. :) Well done!

[SteveTaylore-Knowles @Stevetk01]

@BritComPod Same.

IPL teams chartering planes .. 6 days quarantining required in the UAE .. 7 days till the tournament starts !!!! Don’t tell me the Test was cancelled for any other reason but the IPL ..

@BritComPod Rigsby hands down, but I think George from Man about the House might have run him a closer second!

@ifyouweeelll @BritComPod Another from the 60s that I’ve just bought on DVD and am looking forward to exploring: Pardon the Expression. Arthur Lowe in a spin-off from Coronation Street. The only sitcom to spin off from a soap opera??

[SteveTaylore-Knowles @Stevetk01]

@ifyouweeelll @BritComPod I was going to suggest that one. And maybe Citizen James. And how about a special on Joan Littlewood’s Theatre Workshop and the people who went on from there to sitcom (Yootha Joyce, Brian Murphy, Harry H Corbett, Stephen Lewis, Jimmy Perry …)?

[SteveTaylore-Knowles @Stevetk01]

@BritComPod @Lapsedcat First heard of it about a year ago and bought a DVD (eBay, IIRC). As a lover of retro TV, I’d have to say that it has no redeeming features whatsoever that I could identify!

[SteveTaylore-Knowles @Stevetk01]

@BritComPod Great choice - although I would have loved to see what Wilfred Brambell made of Rooksby in the original run of The Banana Box. Probably a touch too much Old Man Steptoe redux.

Miss Allcock! Everyone's favourite rascal Leslie Phillips is 97 years young today. On our stages, radio & screens since 1938. Wonderful actor & dear friend. Birthday gift to fans - I'll pick a name from those who RT/Like post and the signed pic of Leslie is yours. Ding Dong!!!

[SteveTaylore-Knowles @Stevetk01]

@BritComPod @archivetvmus71 Agreed. One for the ages.

[SteveTaylore-Knowles @Stevetk01]

@BritComPod Good chat as always. Hadn’t seen this before, but actually quite liked this cartoonish bit of fun. Some laugh out loud moments. Have a good break, and looking forward to your return for Season 2.
