Steptoe and Son: two junk men and a junk-cart, bonded by blood, yoked by emotional blackmail and tied by the reins of Hercules the horse. Albert, a conniving old father, clinging to an awesome jumble of useless bric-a-brac and to an exasperated son. Harold, a shackled son full of indistinct ambition for an out-of-reach life, and forever on the fringe of a flirt with a passing “bird”. Peddling really authentic entertainment they spark laughs off each other like flint of old iron.
