No.
In many ways Galton & Simpson were writers with a social conscience and Steptoe can be seen as a tragi-comedy manly centring on the fact that poor Harold's life has been blighted by being trapped in a relationship with Albert that he cannot escape. Also G&S used their comdy as a vehicle to high-light, expose and mock many of the faults of British society of that time, this is shown in 'w*g' remark in which the absurdity of Albert's bigotted, little-Englander, high-Tory, Empire worshipping mentality is exposed.Like in Alf Garnett, we don't laugh with Albert but at him.

Apart from the excellent 'Up Pompeii', there were acouple of other spin-offs, less well remembered, namely the 'medieval romp' 'Up the Chastity Belt' and the First World war satire 'Up the Front'.
- And what about that strange 'Tom Jonesesque' (no, not the singer, the Fielding novel), 'Lock up your Daughters', sarring Arthur mullard as the town crier? |

The spin-off of 'Man About The House' was quite good - especially humorous was a classic vignette filmed inside Thames TV studios in which Jack Smethurst and Rudolph Walker ( of 'Love Thy Neighbour' fame, yes there was a spin-off that too), are heatedly debating the outcome of a chess match.

Likely Lads
Agree Porridge was best overall spin-off. However my favorite scene was in the Likely Lads spin-off.
Terry is fishing and Bob says to him mournfully-"in the chocolate box of life the top layer has already gone, and someone has pinched the orange creme from the bottom" A link to some other quotes from the film attached http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074799/quotes |

The first Alf Garnett spin-off film was great (classic scene of Alf in the toilet during an air-raid with Hitler toilet paper).
However there are two other little known follow ups that have disappeared down the memory hole. I seem to remember a scene with Alf Garnett and Roy Kinnear shouting 'bollocks' at each other in an argument over a whisky bottle. |

Oh nooooo I disagree Foxbark old bean-the best scene has to be at the policewomans quarters when Charlie(Dick) disguised as the policewoman needs to check which girl has the tattoo he is after and he turns up the heating-whereupon the girls appear in various states of undress including nude as they throw back the bedclothes-lots of naughty girls in that methinks

Check out the cast list on IMDB - it's a who's who of British character actors of the late 60's. |
