To introduce the cream of Steptoe & Son . Barry Cryer has written an introductory sleeve note explaining just what makes the series a classic. In it, he urges you to 'sit back and enjoy some of the best written, best acted, but above all funniest, comedy ever committed to radio or TV.'
In Men of Letters , Harold and Albert are asked to contribute to the church magazine, and the old man submits a crossword puzzle where all the answers are vulgar. Oh, What a Beautiful Mourning finds the entire Steptoe family united for Albert's eldest brother's funeral, while Two's Company sees Albert bringing home a fiancee who turns out to be an old girlfriend of Harold's, Finally, in Any Old Iron , Harold is asked out on a date by an effeminate antique dealer.
