"Steptoe and Son" by Ray Galton
Four classic BBC television episodes starring the world's most famous rag and bone men. Come with us to Shepherd's Bush on a decrepit horse and cart, and view the young-ish Harold Steptoe (bon viveur, man of learning, Casanova) and his beloved father Albert (penny pincher, emotional blackmailer, dirty old man) in their natural habitat of the scrapyard at 24, Oil Drum Lane. In these salubrious environs of discarded bric-a-brac, dubious antiquities and downright useless junk, we find our hosts constantly striving for better things - like money, sophistication, and perhaps even a woman or two around the place...These four original BBC TV episodes are The Stepmother, Steptoe a La Cart, The Bonds That Bind Us, and My Old Man's a Tory.
