The play doesn't suggest they "hated" each other , rather that Harry H Corbett had ambitions to be a "proper" theatre actor in the grand tradition and always felt Steptoe & Son was a bit beneath him, and that Wilfrid Brambell's closet homosexuality (at a time when it was illegal in the UK) and drink issues effected him deeply and screwed things up.

They worked together brilliantly. They respected one another and they got on really really well. Wilfred Bramble’s alcoholism did tarnish his character somewhat, which irritated Harry H Corbett, but there was no fall out, nor did they hate each other. It was media spin and lies.

Many actors struggled with the crossover from theatre to television, especially in the 50s, 60s and 70s. Although TV allowed actors to reach a much greater number of people than theatre it was also the case that many actors became typecast by a tv role (like HH Corbett) and thereafter found it harder to land serious roles such as Shakespear. The downside to being in a populat TV show is that once the popularity of that show begins to wane, the actors then find it hard to find any other work (except maybe panto) which is what this biopic is attempting to portray.

I recall reading about Wilfred Brambell and his role in 'A Hard Day's Night'. Director Richard Lester described how the Beatles would ad lib in scenes but Wilfred didn't partake. He said to Wilfred 'Wilf, you TRADE actor, you !' Loved all this series of plays. As a child I saw the episode where Harold breaks down trying to push the cart and felt moved by that, even if the cart didn't.

Brambell was a kind gentle and quiet person till he hits the drink and that side of him is what was obviously documented over the years. Corbett’s own daughter has even stated they were good friends and Brambell was also supportive of Corbett when he suffered his first heart attack in 1979 and heartbroken when he passed away in 1982.

For about 4 years around 1980, Tunbridge Wells Labour Party ran a large fair in the assembly hall. It was very popular and had many stalls from the local pressure groups. Thr event was opened by a big name TV star. Harry H Corbet opened the fair one year and he spent the remainder of the day with us talking to people and spending money on the stalls. He was one of the best guests to open the fair and a very nice person. I turned down a prize and he insisted that I should accept something and he gave me his hankey (it was clean and a token) The price of the hall went up considerably every year and eventually it was not viable.

There were times particularly with Phil playing Wilfred when I felt it was difficult to watch not because it was bad but very good. In the time they had, the script, the budget etc I thought these two guys gave a very real glimpse of how it must have been.

Praise Jebus for DVD's, Steptoe and Son, Rising Damp, On The Busses, Fawlty Towers, The Likely Lads... Ect. Despite their differences and issues in their personal lives, Bramble and Corbett are now Legends. It doesn't (and will not ever again) get any better than this. RIP and thank you WB & HHC.

Really fascinating interpretation! I was impressed. And was not at all surprised to see Jason Isaacs as Harry C, and Phil Davis as Steptoe! From the first time I ever saw Phil Davis I always thopught he'd make an ideal Steptoe! Interesting too how much of the confilcts and contradictions of each of their lives melded into what Steptoe & Son became. Harry C's character always wanting something outwith his environment and to be more than what he has been given. And Wilfred struggling with legality of his sexuality and the copmplications this caused in his life. (Or to parody his part in Beatles 'Hard Days Night' ''A very clean old man''.)

I found this production annoying in its inaccuracies, especially the portrayal of Harry H Corbett for which I fully understand the upset it caused to his family. Some of the other inaccuracies annoyed me too, such as the implication that HHC's longer hair coincided with the switch to colour in 1970 when in fact his hair was only that long in the final series in 1974. Also, what's with the old black and white cameras still on set in the colour era studio scenes ? They managed to get that right in the Hughie Green feature of the same series. (Sorry to be so geeky !).

Adding to that, Tom Sloane the head of light entertainment played by Roger Allam died in 1970 but appears in scenes that happen well after that point like the A Star is Born episode from 1972. Speaking of which the clip recreated with a boy asking Harold if he is an actor takes place in daylight; the original was a nighttime scene after the play he was in has finished.
@foordd1547 жыл бұрын
Yeah I did also note the 'day instead of night' gaffe with the scene recreated from A Star is Born. However, I wasn't aware of Tom Sloan's premature death in 1970. This massively adds to the serious liberties they took with accuracy. Actually another scene which grated on me slightly was the one showing the two SOS actors sitting in the BBC bar both cross dressed, presumably after recording the episode 'Live now, PAYE later'. However, in this episode they were not cross dressed at the same time, Albert having gone back to his normal dress in the final scene with Harold only then appearing in drag. So this would not have resulted in the post-recording scenario as depicted in TCOS.

Why on earth was this made out to be such a dark topic? The inference here is that the two stars despised each other and that everyone involved was troubled and preoccupied. There was even the implication that HHC was so upset not to be in a West End Shakespearean drama that he attempted to make S&S into a bit of a WS comedy. I know I wasn't there, but I feel pretty sure that this whole play is a wild exaggeration of the facts, and that neither HHC or WB were treated fairly by whoever made this. What a shame.

The controversy this caused is also interesting. DVD withdrawn from sale. Re edited due to inaccuracies. Executive producer made redundant.

The episode where Harold tries to be an actor has some real life elements to it that I never knew. Wilfred not being able to read properly and the accent.

Bloody Hell this is about as depressing as watching Eastenders. Surely along with all the success there must have been a lot of joy too. This is all a bit one eyed.

I'm sure we would like to think that Unicorns fart rainbows, but reality is always a hard task master. Always better to get to the heart and truth of the matter. I'm sure every woman reaches this conclusion the first time her Husband calls her a bitch and smacks her across the face, the second she asserts herself in a marriage.
