Steptoe and Son

I am an American who has only discovered the marvelous 'Steptoe & Son' British television series many years after it originally aired. I have managed to watch just about every episode that is available on you tube. I highly recommend this television classic. There were numerous episodes that made me want to cry. The death of their horse Hercules was virtually unbearable, as well as the one where Harold had Albert placed in a old folks' home. The love-hate relationship of the father and son junk company team is more intense than anything ever seen on American television. Although I feel very sorry for Harry being trapped in a world he never made, I find Albert the more appealing of the two. I also can understand the old man's accent more than the son's.
