Swing back to 1964 when Steptoe and Son started on TV

Enjoy the 'fab 5','midnight love','tenuous tunes' and 'gag of the week'.

Relive our 'mystery year' of 1964 when
Steptoe and Son was the UK's most popular TV show. It starred Wilfred Brambles as Albert and Harry H Corbett as Harold. Can you name their horse?

TV theme tune: Paddington bear.

Join in the laughter with Nick and Roller Robbie in 'gag of the week', where Tommy Cooper is sure to make an appearance.

Tonight's 'tenuous tunes' are 'circus' songs
linked to on this day in 1969 when "Monty Python's Flying Circus" debuted on BBC television.
