'You Dirty Old Man!': Masculinity and Class in Steptoe and Son (1962-74)
Inevitably what follows does neglect some of the things I feel made the series great - needs more jokes - but I've also stripped away the more academic jargon to hopefully make it more engaging for a wider audience. But I won't apologise for being a bit serious in order to state the case for Steptoe and Son as one of British television's finest series.
