Steptoe & Son
“"You'd think if the Berk's going to get tied up with a stripper, he'd do it on the telly - not on the big screen where everyone can see it - Dirty little devil."”
Synopsis

Harold, who likes the bright lights in the West End of London, meets a stripper, marries her and takes her home.
