Probably the greatest comedy pairing on TV of all time ,

Brilliant episode, with impeccable timing & delivery by the legends Mr Corbett and Mr Brambell, outstanding performances by both.

I love old Steptoe's wonderful facial expressions, they always make me laugh.

Quite possibly the best comedy series ever .. truly masterful ...

I love the line between tragedy and comedy! This is a classic and I can watch them over and over and enjoy them.

This is Excellent writing. One moment you have pathos and then in the next you are doubling up in Laughter. 50 Years on and still Brilliant.

I think this is the first ever episode I saw, back in the mid 1980s when I was a knee high. It had me in stitches then and I laughed out loud seeing it now. The bit when Harold explains he’s going to connect the hot water, through his dad’s bed frame and his dad’s reaction is priceless. Thanks very much.

I'm 31 here in 2020 elated that now I don't need to keep streaming from KZfaq becoz I got the full steptoe collection for my birthday! WOOOOHOOOO

How we were blessed to see such a brilliant comic duo in action harold and Albert steptoe they made acting history with their visual expressive timing and talent a joy to behold everytime l watch them even after twenty odd years it still gets me laughing and thats legendary stuff

Them two where great actors and hilarious ! Such a classic. This show should always be in top 5 best uk comedy sitcoms of all time.

I can watch Steptoe and son over and over again!!!! British sense of humour, can’t beat it!!! From Australia same sense of humour!!!!!

After watching a few on here, I got the boxset of Xmas one year, and it was great to see all of them! mad to think that most of these are 50 years plus old now!

Steptoe & Son , epic comedy from a golden era of vintage British comedies from the 1960s and 70s. Brilliant writing, great character acting, and comedy timing and deliverance at its finest. (Harry H. Corbett and Wilfrid Brambell ,(R.I.P)

What superbly bitter-sweet stuff this is! The acting is wonderful, the scripts ditto....

Absolutely SUPERB!

good ole british tv as it used to be, breaks my heart.

I've finally got 'round to watching S&S and I'm glad this is the first one I picked. I grew up watching Sanford & Son in the US but I always knew it was based upon this programme.

love steptoe and son BRILLIANT.

One of my favourite episodes and my favourite sitcom ...hands down

Best sitcom ever.

Absolutely 💯 brilliant, 💯👍

The best sitcom duo pairing ever The chemistry is so believable as it was made for them both to portray these created characters of the comedy writers Galton and simpson

All ways said that they are as good as any comedy duo. At there peak they had they were impossible to beat. Thanks to them

Brilliant actors !! Hard too believe they didnt get on when not performing together!!!

OMG I first saw this the night it was broadcast and have never seen it sinse but have never forgotten it. I'm only intot he first 9 mins but i know whats coming..i'm so glad to have found this after all them years. well done for you for uploading it, i thought is was gone forever

An absolute gem 💎

Behind all the laughter there was some great acting....

I always enjoy these shows

'What did you say" love how Harold said that in a toff accent

I've been with albert and harold at the mews cottage ,old drum lane, shepards bush for 46 year's, still enjoy every second. Way ahead of their time, nice one Ben Rouse.

Thoroughly enjoyed watching this.thanx for uploading

I've always enjoyed watching these two, they were absolutely awesome nothing can even be as good, Ronnie Barker perhaps came a close second to these

Both very good actors,they were both totally different in real life. They were nothing like Steptoe and son off screen.

According to the Times Newspaper of Tuesday 30th August 1966 this episode was broadcast on BBC One that evening.

Loved the gag about seven years bad luck not making any difference.

Two of the best !!!

I've not seen this since it was first broadcast - 50 years ago. :)

The good ole days. No money but lots of laughs.

I have always loved this show it upset me when the media brought that documentary out slaying the actors relationship and outing their private life's very sad 😢 but I still love ❤ to watch every episode over and over 👍👍👍👍👍👍👌 🤸🛀 up ya pipe

This is pure class only a pity the BBC will not spend some of the licence payer cash to restore this show to the best quality they can get

I'm seventy now and I still remember my mum and dad watching this and having a good laugh over this when I... think I was about seven or eight years old. Now it's my turn. 😅🤣

Poor harold. He really believed in that crazy pipe configuration. The thing that makes me laugh is Albert shouting " turn it orff " . A brilliant episode . Top comedy that stands the test of time in that it is still funny!

Must be the only time I've heard Albert give words of kindness to Harold...at the start of the video!

Grew up watching this....Love it........

THe episode where the vicar comes around and they are playing scrabble is hilarious. As the vicar glances at the board, it is riddled with obscenities.

We had central heating fitted in the 60's. Pipes used to tick away to themselves all the time.

Very enjoyable.Script acting both top rate.

I remember watching this with my mom! Blessed time's blessed you mom!🤍🇨🇾

I love the one with the waterbed where Harold plans to bring his girlfriend home.😍😍

As a Beatles fan and Steptoe and Son fan it’s good to no the Beatles loved this show and watched it every week when a new episode came out 👍🏻 even using Wilfred Bramble in there first movie a hard days night

i love Harold's *'The Inquest'* monologue lol all of his monologues are absolutely brilliant :D was a real fine actor

This is the only program that makes me have a belly Louth wish there was comedy like this in 2024

I have the Box Set of the whole series and it is brilliant. Well recommended.

The nation as it was, the remains of the war with us. Brilliant series, and I remember the rag and bone man coming round with his horse and cart. "Any old iron."

Yay, lost episodes.. brilliant ☺

Wow would have loved radiators in the sixties,all my parents had was a coal fire in the front room and a useless paraffin heater in the kitchen,more ice on the inside of the bedroom windows than outside ha ha the good old days.

In the 20th minute, Albert explains what his parents were like and tells Harold that compared to them, he’s got it cushy. It’s the same for every generation. I was born in 1980 and the world that I grew up in has completely changed. There used to be greencrocers, Fish mongers and even an Iron monger and a rag n bone man with a horse cart, in Lewes East Sussex. Everything was very Olde World back then, now that’s all gone and forgotten about. My grandad drove a land rover that had a manual crank starter and although we had heating in our council house, it was expensive for us and it either didn’t work very well, or roasted us alive. I especially remember the pollution from old cars, buses and lorries. I near choked to death when they drove past me. That was the last vestiges of the old hard way of life. Now life’s too easy and we’ve all gone soft that’s why Britain’s going down the tube. All we need a vast powerful navy and then we can go and take everything we need from others. But that’s not PC and you’d be branded a racist saying that today. Imagine what the Victorians would think of us today, they’d be ashamed and wish they’d never allowed us to wreck their world.

Thank you! What a terrific episode, I am streaming all these ones I have never seen before through my television. This one was hilarious. :-)

A lot of classic American sitcoms of the early-mid 70s were based on British programs of the late 60s-early 70s ("Steptoe and Son" = "Sanford and Son" to name but one) so thank you for the great programming at your end that brought great programming to our end.

Class is permanent. They could not/ should not remake these with anybody else.

Love the way Albert falls through the door towards the end of the episode.

This aired on Monday 18th October 1965 at 7.30pm on BBC One - this was a very clever move on the BBC's part, as it would have aired up against the hugely popular soap Coronation Street which aired on Mondays at 7.30pm over on ITV. A tough choice for viewers in 1965.

I used to watch this as a Kid. Years later I learned that Harold was a frustrated serious actor and Albert was homosexual who had a passion for antiques. As far from their characters as they could be.

I Love Laurel & hardy too 😂 hilarious

This epi is one of the BEST in the series 😄

Best british comedy ever, along with of course fools & horses- I bet the yanks are so jealous of our great comedy tradition- all they have is laurel & Hardy and that was half British

My dad fitted our system while the rest of us were on holiday.He had,actually,run pipes around skirting boards and cut bits out of the doors to accommodate them.But........it worked!

fantastic REAL comedy !!! thank you so much for posting, love LOVE these episodes

Brilliant...timeless

Not laughed so much since I saw them in the 60s,

Just brilliant !

The start of a beautiful friendship,

Bloody brilliant

♡♡ wish I was around when these where made

Can’t believe this series was so long ago , I’m still waiting for the next episode.

Classic...Cheers Ben (as are all your uploads- top man)

Must have taken the props department/builders alot of time to set this episode up

the ad lib at the end is fantastic

This old man was quick on his feet, wasn't he? :)

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟⭐⭐⭐⭐EXCELLENT

15:32 Albert's face fighting conflicting emotions of snide, cocky resentment and fear is priceless xD

Brilliant!

"Up your pipe" LOL

Classic comedy…. Now lost but not forgotten…😉

Real classic comedy.

look at them radiators they're on the mooveeee hahaaha

Utterly brilliant acting and scripts. Galton and Simpson wanted to write a series about rag and bone men. They found it much better to write for actors rather than for Tony Hancock.

Taking me back,way back,those horse hooves of the steptoe wagon.

Great show. One of the best episodes of steptoe and son.

My radiators was like that ,bleeding British Gas made a balls up of the water pressure

Sublime comedy.

My favourite episode

Always chuckle at Harold bemoaning the idea of inheriting a 2 bedroom detached mews with private courtyard in the heart of Shepherds Bush, I shudder to think what such a property would be worth these days

There will never be another like it !! The WOKE will make sure of it !!

Harry H. Corbett and Wilfrid Brambell didnt even like each other but worked together brilliantly

The best

FYI _ The whole area of West London where the outside filming took place for the rag & bone yard has totally changed, much of it is now a private industrial estate..

It’s either that or you have to stick your feet in the oven before you go out in the morning 😂😂😂😂👌👌👌😀😀😀😇

Two of the funniest films ever made too

I saw a clip of them getting informally interviewed together they were cracking jokes and getting along fine
