When It Ain't Half Hot Mum finished, you think is that the end of the actors. We shall never see them again in anything else.
Windsor Davies was not out of a job for long. He was lined up for Never the Twain. Those deep Welsh tones would not be away from the screen for long.
When Davies died in 2019, imagine the shock to discover that he was actually born in London.
Like the title of the show there is a literate underpinning to this sitcom. A touch of Romeo and Juliet.
Davies is the Welsh working class Oliver Smallbridge living next door to Donald Sinden's fussy, posh Simon Peel. Both are also antique dealers who spend their days playing pranks on one another.
Trouble brews when Oliver's daughter Lyn announces her engagement to David who is Simon's son. The children have been seeing each other.
Although Never the Twain ran of for too long. This was an amusing opening episode thanks to the bickering and oneupmanship between the two main characters.
Oliver telling Simon that when he was a lad he was so poor he had to go round in bare feet. Simon responds he walked in bare feet as well in the Bahamas.
The first episode also establishes the precise relationship between two men. They were former business partners and Oliver was one of many men who fooled around with Simon's ex wife. Now they are going to be related by marriage.
