Quite what the ITV network thought they were doing when they commissioned this lame duck series back in the late eighties is anyone's guess. I seem to remember the Daily Mirror (repository of the original Reg Smythe-penned Andy Capp strip) regularly bigging up the series ("the sets are faithful to the cartoon original"...how difficult that must have been to achieve) and describing the eponymous shirker as a love-him-or-loathe-him icon, but nobody else was paying much attention. In truth, this was a dull series, predictably scripted, flatly acted, full of creaky old jokes along the lines of "What are you two doing on the bed together?" / "Waiting for a bus" (almost as if Kenny Everett hadn't memorably subverted this gag several years beforehand) and lumbered with an Alan Price theme song that didn't fit the mood of the proceedings, largely because it was quite good. A DVD revival for this one? Don't hold your breath.
