Steptoe & son tv programme dvds.

[Mickey]

About a year ago i bought the COMPLETE Steptoe & son tv programmes on dvd box-set which i think includes all 58 episodes that were screened between 1962-65 and 1970-74 the box set also includes x2 Christmas specials screened in 1973 & 74. The two films called Steptoe & son and Steptoe & son ride again WASN'T included and was bought separately by myself to complement the tv series (for only £5 for both films). I would guess that many people on this forum would remember watching the programmes when they were originally screened on the telly during the 1960s and again in the early '70s. I was only a 'kid' when the programmes were first shown between 1962-65 (i do remember them) but when it came back on the telly between 1970-74 i was a teenager in my middle teens and remember them very well. Re-watching a lot of these Steptoe & son episodes again lately after 40 years they really are as funny to watch again now as they were all those years ago.

Wow. I didnt realise that all the Steptoe and Son episodes had survived. I thought that some had been lost by the BBC when they threw thousands of reels of film into the skip.

That is great news. Thanks Micky. I may put it on my Christmas list for relatives to buy me. I also watched most of the episodes as a kid and have seen a few repeats since, and I think that I appreciate some of the humour (and certainly the acting), more now than I did in the 1960s.

The same applies to Till Death Us Do Part, but many of the early episodes are still missing.

Hello strang steel some of the end credits sometimes gives thanks to the 'Steptoe & son appreciation society' for that particular episode and on one or two of the 'black & white' episodes from the 1962-65 series the quality is a bit 'below' the usual good quality everyone comes to expect from the BBC but all in all it is a really good buy if anyone is thinking of getting it?. In the HMV shop in central London they sell it for about £65. but sometimes when the HMV shop is having a sale (which is several times a year) they sell it for £30. which is what i payed for it.

I have just had a look on Amazon and they are selling it for £23.47!!

That's a bargain.
