  • Brilliant writing and acting

  • you see yourself as working class?

    Yeah, or i did until i went to glasgow, now i see myself as middle class.

  • most admirable is the clean humour

  • I used to watch this programme! Sadly, Richard Beckinsdale who played the part of Lennie Godber in the Series, died prematurely at the age of 32.

    Another favourite programme starring Ronnie Barker was "Open all Hours".

    Great upload Max, thanks!

    Thank you for all of this information. I LOVE this particular brand of comedy...sadly missing today. Thank goodness we have DVD box sets and such. I will certainly search for it.

    Pax,

  • @stewballmax3 - One of the best comedy series on British television and another example of of the comic genius of Ronnie Barker (Fletcher) box sets still available, I believe. Sadly, the actor, Richard Beckinsale (Lenny Godber) died young. He was the father of the actress Kate Beckinsale.

  • Thank you for introducing me to this very funny program from the golden era of the BBC!
