Shame on anybody in this comment section for mentioning his sexuality. Harry H Corbett was one of the best actors the UK has ever produced. He gave us so much joy as Arold but if he hadn't had got the part he would have been a massive, massive star. Check out " Rattle of a simple man " and " Cover girl Killer" . Steptoe & Son was the pinnacle of British comedy and one of two comedies that had just as funny spin off movies as the series...the other being Bless this House with the brilliant Sid James. We don't produce comedy any more..I look at what's on today and I could cry. I have the collection of DVDs with every episode and watch them regularly. you will never get better than the best.

I always vividly remember seeing Wilfrid Brambell being interviewed on the BBC current affairs show Nationwide directly after Harry H Corbett died and he was in bits - absolutely crying his eyes out. It would be interesting to see that clip again. It would certainly put paid to the claims they hated each other.

This was filmed in Brambells flat in Pimlico. Brambell was a collector of antique silver as can be seen. Harrys funeral was attended by the cream of showbusiness Brambells had less than a dozen. Very sad.

@@THX-2208 They didn't hate each other. That programme was wrong. Many people have said so. The day after Harry H. Corbett died Wilfrid Brambell was interviewed on Nationwide. He was so upset he could hardly speak. That wasn't the reaction of some-one talking about some-one he hated.

Brambell was not a 'paedophile'. He was gay when it was still illegal to be gay in Britain, and when it was legalised, the legal age to be a gay man was far higher, at 21, than that of a heterosexual man, at 16. Everything Brambell did naturally as a gay man would be totally legal today. It was only homosexuality between men that was deemed 'illegal' in Britain back then too, there was never any law against being a gay woman. The so-called 'laws' in Britain back then were an absolute disgrace.

I love watching Steptoe & Son on DVD . My favourite is when Leonard Rossiter breaks in to Steptoe & Sons house after breaking out of prison . They were known as trotters . I all ways wondered if Only Fools and Horses was a continuation of Steptoe & Son because like the Steptoes they had little and of course their surname was Trotter .

They didn't break in, Harold answered the door and they forced themselves inside. And they were "totters" not trotters.

@johnmurphy73163 жыл бұрын
He came from a middle class protestant background in Dublin when ireland was still part of the uk which maybe accounts for his accent although it could also be attributed to his life in England in the theatre and TV and films

Camp Freddy ,Well in Steptoe and Son he is obviously playing an English character, more specifically a Cockney of the Shepherds Bush variety, so it's no surprise that he salutes the Queen or has a Union Jack draped over his coffin. But I've no idea what he felt in real life as Wilfred Brambell . He may have left Dublin far behind when he came to England but he could take off a brilliant and very funny Irish accent as in A Hard Days Night film .He was a very gifted comedian .
