Classic comedy at its finest
12 December 2003 | by (Scotland) – See all my reviews

Eric Sykes and Hattie Jacques play twins, living in a small village, at 24 Sepastopol Terrace.

Most of the classic episodes revolved around Eric Sykes' daydream disasters and Hattie Jacques' bewilderment.

Other characters include Mr Brown [Richard Wattis] and village policeman Corky [Deryck Guyler].

The programme originally ran on BBC in black and white from 1960 to 1965 and was revived in colour from 1972 to 1979. Most of the colour episodes were remakes of classic episodes from the 1960s.
