Featured review
Forgotten LWT sitcom with a great cast
Ernest Tanner played by Peter Butterworth is a second-rate escapologist who earns a meagre living performing on the streets of London. Ernest is assisted by his friend Sidney Pratt (Peter Jones), who collects donations while Ernest is performing.
The two men share a rundown basement flat and eat in a seedy cafe run by Archie (Meredith Edwards). This sitcom by future Man about the house writers Johnny Mortimer and Brian Cooke ran for 6 episodes was based on an episode of the 1968 series The Ronnie Barker Playhouse in which Ronnie Barker played Mr Tanner and RIchard O'Sullivan played Sidney. All episodes are said to exist in the ITV archives (2020)
