The Curse Of Steptoe

BBC Four - 21 March 2008

Starring Phil Davis (Five Days) as Wilfrid Brambell and Jason Isaacs (The State Within) as Harry H Corbett, The Curse Of Steptoe is both a hilarious romp through the land of Sixties sitcom and a poignant story of two men. yoked together, unable to escape their inner complexities and desires, or for that matter, each other.

How their personal problems and antipathy helped the show achieve success is one of the most revealing stories from the annals of BBC light entertainment history.

Writer Brian Fillis (Fear Of Fanny) delivers a sharp, witty and moving script based on interviews with colleagues, friends and family of Harry and Wilfrid, and Steptoe writers, Ray Galton and Alan Simpson.

From BBC Drama Production, this 1 x 60-minute film is being directed by Michael Samuels (Our Hidden Lives, The Falklands Play), and produced by Ben Bickerton (The Afternoon Plays).
