I love steptoe and son, it's one of my fave comedies

Yeah forgot about the 'Provident man' Kiz, he was my old man's best pal.

No coal man around our streets because it was a mining village and we all got free coal.

As for Steptoe - I do a mean impression of both;

"Here, Harold, I know I'm gettin old, but I ain't gorn yet... Not as knackered as Herculese.... I want a bird Harold".

"You dirty old man... You're bleeding filthy you are." -- Magic series - a classic.

By the way, I love your honesty.
