7 of 1

One series of seven single comedies featuring the many faces of Ronnie Barker. As well as highlighting Barker`s extraordinary comic range (and providing an early screen outing for David Jason) the series was the genesis of not one but two much-loved British sitcoms. Open All Hours appears here in embryonic pilot form and "Prisoner and Escort" went on to become perhaps Barker`s best-loved creation, Porridge. Also included are "My Old Man", "Spanner`s Eleven", "Another Fine Mess", "One Man`s Meat" and "I`ll Fly You For A Quid" (where Barker plays a both father and son).
