Pretty much any episode for me, I think it is absolute classic comedy. Fantastic stuff!

[steve56]

the series is very much like my uncle stan and his father.

I like 'upstairs downstairs upstairs downstairs'.

Harold, upon discovering two cans of beer being mysteriously consumed....

"well I haven't had them and the horse hasn't had them, so that just leaves that perpendicular ponce upstairs".


However, my favourite episode is Divided We Stand where they argue and divide the house in two, its a classic.

Cannot say I remember them all, but the cleverest was when 2 prisoners
escape from prison and take refuge in the Steptoe's house.

It is winter and the 2 Steptoe's have no money, no food, and no coins to
put in the gas meter.

The two prisoners are a youngish one (played by Leonard Rossiter) and an
older one, which is of course the same situation as the two Steptoes.

The younger prisoner wants to leave the old prisoner behind and go out on
his own, as he thinks the older one will hold him back.

Of course the young Steptoe sides with the young prisoner, telling him to
go on his own, and the old Steptoe sides with the old prisoner, saying the
younger one should look after him.

The young/old prisoner situation is a brilliant mirroring of the young/old
Steptoe situation.

Steptoe has no cigarettes or matches and has to borrow one off the prisoner.

In the end, after seeing how the Steptoes live, the prisoners realise they
are better off in prison.

Before giving themselves up they even give the Steptoes a coin for the meter.

yeah thats the one.

There's also the classic 'come dancing' episode when Albert teaches Harold how to do ballroom dancing but he teaches him the womans steps!
