Mother and Son

Someone is asking this question on another forum.

Any ideas Chums?

Curious, but did or does the UK TV show shown the Australian TV comedy show called Mother & Son ?

Ta Griff.

Sorry about the double post btw. Is it just me or are the boards very slow tonight?

It was absolute shit. (according to me, who saw a couple of episodes when I lived in Oz in the 90s).

I had left Oz by the 90s, but watched plenty of Mother & Son in the 80s and enjoyed it. It was similar to Steptoe and Son, in that the mother horribly manipulated her son. Good senile fun.

It was re-made as Keeping Mum.

Recently found the first 4 series (the original Australian one) in a charity shop for 75p a piece. Enjoyed the first episode: typical 70's uk-style sitcom but with some sharp(ish) dialogue.
