You can't reboot steptoe and son it's classic and one of the best always will be and my absolute favourite sitcom ever. No one could replace Harry h Corbett or Wilfred bramble may they both rest in peace
Harry H Corbett & Wilfrid Brambell Nationwide 1974 1714pm 11.6.23 i concur - it's a decent show, this steptoe and son. most folk usually suggest they've dropped you in it if they have you watching this show... but i can say: good times watching this show in a flat many years ago...

Steptoe & Son pure Comedy Gold that remains a classic to this day, they don't !make greats like this anymore . (Harry H. Corbett & Wilfrid Bramble R.I.P)
Legends...Great comedians, because first and foremost, they were great actors...You warm to the characters, which in turn makes you laugh, and cry with them. ..Only fools, Porridge, Rising Damp etc....Timeless.
I watched the first Steptoe episode way back in the 60s with my family in rural Gloucestershire and we immediately realised that it was something really special. I still feel the same today.
Wow, what a gem. Great upload. Thanks! When the writer says that the same thing could be done in "30 years' time" my heart broke! Unfortunately this kind of comedy can't be done now, it will upset too many strung up people.
1962 and nearly 60 years Later and it's still loved by people who's parents went even born then .But that's the thing about true British comedy such as Steptoe. And many,many others , you may have have the PC brigade and the new wave of comedians , but you will never beat British comedy. And that's why "It ain't half half hot mom " has been loved for so long, it's been years since its been shown on mainstream telly , but I think that's it's as popular now as it ever was....Many thanks for putting this little slice of our TV past on ,and may it never be forgotten.
Sometimes things just click together and work. This such an example - magnificent writing delivered by two respected and competent actors. I just wished they did maybe another season more.
Pure perfection the best poor Harry h Corbett was so brilliant nobody could imagine him doing anything else harmed a brilliant actors carrier God bless them
God almighty wilfrid brambells accent is totally different from the way he speaks in most of the episodes totally different really proves how amazingly talented brambell was he could imitate any accent such a huge talent
The writers and Corbett’s family disputed they they hated each other. They didn’t socialise outside of work but there was a lot of respect between them
One of the writers said it never changes, that it could have been made 30 years earlier or 30 years later, would have been the same. 30 years later - 2004 - rag and bone have become extinct.
The script must provide the raw material and the actors breathe like into it and ultimately when it's very good the write them refines the lines to better suit the actor play it ..a classic combination in this show
Sad that the real people were always at odds and were like chalk and cheese, in the end such personality difference bought the show effectively to an end before Corbett's.
Actually, that's not true, most of it was newspaper fodder. Wilfred Brambell cried when he heard 'Arold' had died. Harry H Corbett's daughter wrote a biography of her father called The Two Front Legs of a Cow.
Great actors and the best ever comedy but the real deal with this show is the two writers Galton & Simpson, just ask John Sullivan. Oh no that copycat fraud is dead.
interestingly in the first episode ABLERT was very hard/cruel and "on the ball". He turned into a much more softer likeable character. Similar to Stan Laurel in a few ways, the instigate and butt of a lot of the humour.
I was very saddened to hear that wilfrid brambell was not a nice man off screen its said that he frequently told his adoring fans to fuck off such an amazingly talented and exceptional gifted actor
Such banal questions. Talk about struggling for what to ask them. Have to say though, seems it was a myth that these 2 hated each other. I wonder how that sh!t gets started 🤔
They altered Harrys age at his own request in the series. In real life both were awfully posh and played the characters very well. If it wasn't for steptoe and son, neither would be known today. Corbett appeared in a few cheapo cheesy films in the late 50s and pretty much played steptoe in later films roles ' some people' 'what a crazy world' and the Bargee. He took steptoe and played the common cockney type in most of his later film roles. He was also in carry on screaming.. pretty much steptoe as a detective, same facial expressions and mannerisms. He found his small niche and lived off of it for the rest of his life
tofty21 they didn't hate each other at all , that's a myth that was never true, they were private people and didnt interact socially away from the cameras together very often ,and lived very different lives, but once filming started they were very professional and got on well, and the genius and chemistry of the two working together is clearly evident in the classic that his Steptoe & Son
They will go down has two of the best of all time. Steptoe and Son can never be written again
They will no doubt try to reboot it at some point like they just have with Porridge (absolutely abysmal if you haven't seen it).

Absolutely love steptoe and son ♥️. Great comedy, brilliant actors. Timeless classics 🤣.
Interesting to hear Brambell's rather posh voice which was the very antithesis of the "dirty old man" he cleverly portrayed.
What a great pair of actors.

Not timeless at all. Very much of their time.
To hear these two gentlemen talking in their natural voices whilst dressed in character is amazing.
What an absolute gem. That was great to see.
Incredible actors.
Wow accents so different from their characters.
It's amusing how Alan Simpson looks like Dostoevsky while Ray Galton looks like Rod Stewart's drummer.
Best combination of actors on tv
I watched the first Steptoe episode way back in the 60s with my family in rural Gloucestershire and we immediately realised that it was something really special. I still feel the same today.
Interviewer obsessed with change, never once tries to plumb the depths of inspiration behind the performances / writing.
He has the plummy voice but nothing really to ask.
Ok Parkinson

absolute geniuses. ..
don't make comedy like that anymore
Nobody can do comedy anymore with this woke shite
WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO ANYMORE !!!
She is absolutely gorgeous xxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx
A great insight and lovely to see Diana Dors
LOVED EM THEN AND I LOVE EM NOW....RIP THANKS FOR ALL THE LAUGHS GROWING UP😀

Best show ever
This is brilliant, thank you for uploading
Comedy icons the good old days
Diana Dors what a ravishing woman
Weird hearing their normal voices.
Step toe and son was brilliant comedy
I remember running around the playground as a kid and saying "you dirty dirty old man you", fun times.
God almighty wilfrid brambells accent is totally different from the way he speaks in most of the episodes totally different really proves how amazingly talented brambell was he could imitate any accent such a huge talent
you dirty old man lol so cool steptoe and son is the best ever long live there memorys god rest there souls
I had such a crush on HAROLD!!! When I was a kid 😉
Just bought the box set dvd
National treasures the both of them
Diana Dors is the only woman in it apart from Yootha Joyce, Olga Lowe, Joyce Hemson and HM Queen.
The 2nd film I really enjoy
Seemed to get on well in this.....some say that the documentary about them hating one another was all rubbish!
His Daughter said it was. I'd Believe her, before I'd Believe ITV..
Brilliant!
Best TV duo ever
Doesn’t appear to be any dislike or hatred between them, long believed that was a myth
They were acting for the cameras.
The writers and Corbett’s family disputed they they hated each other. They didn’t socialise outside of work but there was a lot of respect between them
Just 2 very different people who worked together but not in each other's pockets.
Harry was a royal marine
David Thompson Wilfred was a royal, too. He was a "queen"
TheMatrix1776 hand to hand combat apparently
One of the writers said it never changes, that it could have been made 30 years earlier or 30 years later, would have been the same. 30 years later - 2004 - rag and bone have become extinct.
Well yes but if you watch Only Fools and Horses the plots are very similar just doing it from a suitcase on a market
Well make it about homeless people then...a father and son on the streets....very much 2019,.. anywhere in England, America, Australia.
Best show ever 😀
Brilliant.
they take it in turns to be the WISE one. "which is okay cus they pull it off" and it's always FUNNY.
Find it unusual to hear their posh actor voices
Great best ever
They just don't write and produce comedy of this standard, nowadays.
The script must provide the raw material and the actors breathe like into it and ultimately when it's very good the write them refines the lines to better suit the actor play it ..a classic combination in this show
The American show, " Sanford and Son", was based off of " Steptoe and Son ".
Now, let's discuss " Cultural Appropriation "
Brambell seems so different from the series ie his accent is extremely different
He's a clean old man
Superb
Oh Diana, you were such a honey.
such fun...
yay

very posh but great actors.
Wasnt yootha joyce in that film too???
She was indeed.
Wilfrid Brambell. As listed in every episode. Not Bramble.
interestingly in the first episode ABLERT was very hard/cruel and "on the ball". He turned into a much more softer likeable character. Similar to Stan Laurel in a few ways, the instigate and butt of a lot of the humour.
That's not true he was always a rude cantankerous git.
This is 1973 not 1974
Dors is heavy here at 2:12.
She really packed on the pounds!
Bet you are in peek condition . Lovely show. I really don't care about their weights!
I saw the movie. Dors acts and looks sexy (to a small degree!). She looks better in the film than she does here!
Who cares? Are you a sex symbol?
Yeah fat cow
Ya can tell they hate each other in this...
all true Legends here,he reminds me of Dick Van Dyke never thought that before lol
Diana dors phawwwwwwwww
