(removed unnecessary pothole)
Line 4:
Is noted for being a lot more gritty and down-to-earth than many other sitcoms of the age, focusing on two obviously poor, working class and downtrodden men, with most of the humour coming from the interactions between the characters rather than farce and slapstick, and their situation providing a great deal of pathos for the two characters. Had two runs on [[The BBC]] (1962-1965 and 1970-1974). Two feature films were also made. More recently, there was a stage play ''Steptoe And Son In Murder At Oil Drum Lane'', in which Harold returns to the junkyard in 2005, and is confronted by the ghost of Albert.
 
Came fifteenth in ''[[Britain's Best Sitcom|Britains Best Sitcom]]''.
