Steptoe and Son (1962–1974)
10/10
Comedy and tragedy have never been so portrayed in the same play.

Comedy and tragedy have never been so portrayed in the same way in a sitcom before this.

Some of these episodes are so close to home that I weep with both laughter and sadness every time that I watch them.

It helps if you have been part of the post war life in the UK to understand the bitter sweetness of life in the 1950s and early 60s

Shakespeare and Aristophanes would have been proud of these plays.
