In previous episodes such as 'My Old Man's A Tory' there was always political discourse between tory Albert and socialist Harold. Despite Albert being a dirty old man who lives in a hovel, he regards himself as management class.
Just months after Ted Heath becoming the new Conservative Prime Minister after the 1970 General Election. There is a local by-election, with father and son supporting opposing candidates. Albert even swaps leaflets so Harold ends up delivering Tory ones.
However Harold identifying with the workers of the world against lazy management believes Harold Wilson's fightback starts in Shepherd's Bush.
When Albert gets an offer of from local Tory bigwigs of having tea in his home with Ted Heath, he jumps at the chance and even cleans up the house. Once Harold hears about this, he plans to do a nude protest. Not sure this is wise, Ted Heath always loved a sailor!
A prescient episode as the political discussions between father and son have not aged nearly five decades on.
