When I finally got hold of a very poor copy it was incredibly difficult to see, but that didn't matter, I had got it, a copy of the episode that I most wanted to see, that was all that mattered.
Brambell and Corbett were as superb as ever they were and I was hoping that for once Harold's schemes would actually workout as the character put so much effort into installing the central heating just for his dad, even though he wasn't up to the job the thought was there and made me realise that Harold loves is dad very much, even though he is constantly put down by his father he still tries to make him as comfortable as possible.
True personalities and true characters, ones that I feel I know and love. This special episode is perfect in every aspect and is the one that I would chose to represent Steptoe and Son in the 1960's and the comic genius of such actors as the two leads and of the two writers whose work will never be equalled.
