Keeping Up Disappearances. Sit-com featuring the McCann's and a Portuguese bloke.
The final draw.
A great little comedy about three women with rollers and a friendly cheeky chappie gaffer that work in a cigarette factory who joke about their weary grim up north exstistence to offset the daily misery in their lives. Eventually the gaffer gets cancer from smoking and bravely laughs in the face of it with his humerous anecdotes and tales about the cigarette factory. He has great fondness of the factory workplace but it is in a really bittersweet tone.
Or you can have 'The private life of Adolf Hitler' sort of a Faulty Towers comedy surrounded by nincompoops.
Or you can have a bunch of clucking hens in the washhouse lamenting on their lonliness and struggle with poverty.
