S02 E08 - Steptoe & Son (1972)

With Old Ned still ringing in their ears, Rob and Guy sat down to record episode 8: Steptoe and Son. An enduring sitcom with a huge legacy, written by a couple of comedy pioneers…but let’s not forget this is a movie spin-off from the 70s, by which all low bars apparently, should be judged.   Surely that can’t be the case for a pair of characters still held in such high esteem even now, situations as timeless as the day is long and a budget to be envious of….well, let’s not give anything away. The classic traps of lack of TV network reigning in are a jaunt abroad and a hurried script.   All this plus some chat about Mr Acker Bilk and his impressive record, a public toilet in Shepherd’s Bush, class warfare by sporting preference, and a chance for Rob to get back in the running for the series quiz title.
