"Steptoe and Son", the Very Best Episodes: v. 1

A well-known advocate selects four favorite episodes from the evergreen radio series, starring Wilfrid Brambell as Albert Steptoe and Harry H Corbett as his long-suffering son, Harold. Created and written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson (of Hancock's "Half Hour") this is the series which combined comedy with pathos in almost every episode. As the denizens of Oil Drum Lane bickered about women, work and general standards and hygiene, so Harold's schemes for self-betterment were continually foiled by the intervention of his lazy, good-for-nothing old dad. As with other volumes in the "Very Best Episodes" range, the advocate of these four favorite episodes has also provided some specially written sleeve notes.
