Steptoe &
Son:
Steptoe and Son is
a British sitcom written by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson
about a father-and-son rag-and-bone business. They live
at Oil Drum Lane, a fictional street in Shepherd's Bush,
London. The theme tune, "Old Ned", was composed by Ron
Grainer. It was remade in the United States as Sanford
and Son, in Sweden as Albert & Herbert and in the
Netherlands as Stiefbeen en zoon. In 1972, a film
adaptation of the series, Steptoe and Son, was released
in cinemas, followed by a sequel Steptoe and Son Ride
Again in 1973.
The series focused on the inter-generational conflict of
father and son. Albert Steptoe, a "dirty old man", is an
elderly rag-and-bone man, set in his grimy and grasping
ways. By contrast, his 37-year-old son Harold is filled
with social aspirations, not to say pretensions. The
show contained elements of drama and tragedy, as Harold
was continually prevented from achieving his ambitions.
To this end, the show was unusual at the time for
casting actors rather than comedians in its lead roles,
although both actors were drawn into more comedic roles
as a consequence.
Terry &
The Pirates:
Terry and the Pirates was an adventure radio series
based on Milton Caniff’s comic strip. It ran from 1937
to 1948, enthralling lots of fans and listeners.
The series' lead character was Terry Lee, portrayed by
various actors including Cliff Carpenter, Bill Fein,
Owen Jordan, and Jackie Kelk. Terry has a partner named
Pat Ryan, also played by different actors such as Larry
Alexander, Warner Anderson, Bud Collyer, and Bob
Griffin. Terry's and Pat's adventures included fighting
numerous villains, the worst of which was the Dragon
Lady. The actresses that starred as the Dragon Lady at
different times were Adelaide Klein, Agnes Moorehead,
Mina Reaume, and Marion Sweet.
