About this deal

The series has since been repeated on satellite television stations in the UK, although each episode begins with a warning about content. In 2003, DVDs of the series were reported to be selling well in Nigeria, parts of the Caribbean and Australia. [9] Theme music [ edit ] To those born in the mid 60's like me, the first nostalgia trip is when you play an episode and the old Thames television logo appears.

Smethurst and Walker appeared as relaxing actors having a drink together in the studio bar when George Roper ( Brian Murphy) walks in while searching the Thames Television TV studios in the 1974 film Man About the House.

Title not yet reviewed...

It is also clear that the writers and producers are manipulating the society of the early 1970s and the viewer in any time, by suggesting what we should think, what we should believe, what we should say and how we should behave. I did not need these over laboured and exaggerated pointers and I don't think anybody really does. I was able to make my own mind up. Sadly the series does carry social manipulation messages and although on the face of it issues seem evenly placed with the equal amount of insults, there is also clear bias in character structure which enables many subliminal indicators to all members of society. I just want an entertainment comedy not a coercion pill. Some people may argue that there are people in society that do need these lessons in how to behave. Well if that is true then it should be done else where and not through entertainment so that we are treated like idiots. Admittedly there is plenty of good points to make it worth while watching this film but its just a personal reason why I have voted the star rating down.

The TV show really wasn't my favourite comedy of the day in the early 1970s and I didn't see this movie until years later. I wasn't impressed with this either.

Archived from the original on 14 February 2007. {{ cite web}}: CS1 maint: bot: original URL status unknown ( link) Nostalgia is an odd thing. It can be everything you remembered or it can fall short. I am happy to report that Love Thy Neighbour is every bit as good, if not better, than I remembered. So, these comedies, in my view, aren't "racist", but rather portray ignorant white characters who are gotten the better of because of their racism and ignorance. Having been less than enthusiastic about modern TV programmes and becoming a fan of retro classic shows I decided it was worth re investigating this sitcom.Brooks, Tim; Marsh, Earle (24 June 2009).

The Coach Trip" (broadcast: 1 January 1976) (This was intended as the last episode of series 7, but for unknown reasons was not broadcast in that timeslot. It later appeared as the fourth episode of series 8, under the new title "The Coach Outing to Bournemouth".) Bill Reynolds ( Rudolph Walker) is a West Indian and a Conservative. He is a supporter of West Ham United. Whenever Eddie tries to outdo him, Bill usually ends up having the last laugh and rarely gets his comeuppance. He tends to have a very short temper, especially where Eddie is concerned, and has threatened him with a clenched fist several times. Although sophisticated and educated compared to Eddie, Bill is also stubborn and more than capable of using insulting phrases; he occasionally refers to Eddie as a "white honky" and "snowflake", and does not like catching Eddie staring at his wife. He also has a very high-pitched laugh. Bill is promoted to foreman at the end of the episode "Clarky Leaves". His catchphrases include "Hey, honky!", "Cobblers!" and "You talking to me, snowflake?".
