| | Steptoe And Son - The Christmas Specials | |
Description
Massively popular, with audiences of over 20 million, Steptoe & Son was an
obvious choice for the festive schedules, but this classic comedy had been
running for over ten years before the first of the extended Christmas Specials
appeared in 1973. A year later, writers Galton and Simpson had decided to bring
the series to an end. The 1974 Christmas Special would be the final ever
episode: a fitting end to a legendary series.
The Party: (Christmas Special 1973)
Albert and Harold are busy making preparations for Christmas. Albert is putting
up Christmas decorations while Harold is at the travel agents booking some sunny
festive fun in Majorca. He's made all the necessary arrangements, however there
is one last thing to do: tell Albert to pack his bags in preparation for a short
stay at the local old people's home!
A Perfect Christmas: (Christmas Special 1974)
Fed up with staying at home every Christmas, Harold plans to take his dad abroad
for the holiday. But his old man isn't going to make it easy for him: he pleads
to go to Bognor instead, objects to every resort in the brochure and struggles
to find his birth certificate for the passport. Then, just when it looks like
Harold's Christmas is going to be another
disaster, fate delivers one more twist...
