Classic 1960s British comedy series about a middle aged man and his elderly father who run an unsuccessful 'rag and bone' business (collecting and selling junk). Harold (the son) wants to better himself but his father always seems to ruin things, sometimes accidentally and other times deliberately. The two live in poverty and the father has some disgusting habits which continue to embarrass the son. The series was later remade for an American audience as "Sanford and Son" (1972).
Remade in Sweden as "Albert & Herbert" (1974). Also served as a "blueprint" for the long-running American series "Sanford and Son" (1972).
Harold Steptoe:
You are morally, spiritually and physically a festering fly-blown heap of accumulated filth.

With more than a million titles, it isn't feasible to handpick recommendations for every film. That's why we came up with a formula to suggest titles that fit along with the selected one. The formula uses factors such as user votes, genre and keywords to generate an automatic response. The system produces relevant results most of the time but since recommended titles are not manually chosen, occasionally they may include less than perfect matches.
