The Curse of Steptoe



Transmitted 19 March 2007

BBC 4: 9.00pm



Steptoe and Son remains a landmark in the history of British television. The series gave birth to the modern sitcom and transformed its actors, Harry H Corbett and Wilfrid Brambell, into national treasures.



Starring Jason Isaacs (The State Within) as Harry H Corbett and Phil Davis (Five Days) as Wilfrid Brambell, The Curse of Steptoe uncovers an unexpected and incredible tale of life imitating art.



The sitcom told the story of two rag-and-bone men trapped together for all eternity. But out of the public eye an even stranger story was playing out, of two men yoked together unable to escape their inner complexities or each other.



How their personal problems helped the show achieve success is one of the most revealing stories from the annals of BBC light entertainment history.



Based on interviews with colleagues, friends and family of Harry and Wilfrid, and Steptoe writers, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, The Curse Of Steptoe explores the incredible story of life behind the scenes.
