Me too, I've seen a few episodes on TV lately (sorry can't remember which channel) Great viewing.

Yes it was good wasn’t it. A lot better than some of today’s programmes.

Any fans on here of this classic Geordie sitcom that for all it only lasted for two series, every episode was a masterpiece in comedy, social comment and the class system? I really loved how wannabe middle class Bob Ferris was often shown up or thwarted by his staunchly working class best friend Terry Collier. Also great was the late Brigit Forsyth as Bob's prim and proper wife Thelma.
