Thick As Thieves LWT 1974

I was 6 years old when that come out. I remember the London Weekend Television ident appearing on shows on a Sunday evening on ATV watching the regular series of programmes before bedtime and school the next day.

With only 3 TV channels them days programming had to be entertaining else you had no choice to anything else. I am almost 43 and I am sounding like an old codger puffing on his pipe and in his slippers.

I've got the full series on DVD. It's a VERY FUNNY and HILARIOUS sitcom, I recommend it.

I think they should done more series's of this, cause this was a really good ITV Sitcom during the 70's, much much much much much much much better than On The Buses, Man About The House and George and Mildred.

Pat Ashton turned up in The Gaffer with Bill Maynard from 81 to 83. Another great supporting performance.

Very funny, overlooked sitcom from La Frenais and Clement. Bob Hoskins is hilarious as Dobbsy with great support from John Thaw and Pat Ashton. I recently bought the entire series on dvd, well worth it.

Whatever happened to Pat Ashton? She just seemed to drop out of sight around the mid 80's. One of the sexiest women to grace British TV (maybe too sexy?)

Never heard of this one. The opening credits are so like the Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads.

I guess the guys were commissioned to right a Southern Likely Lads for LWT. Hope I can find a full episode somewhere.
