Jimmy Jewel and Hilda Baker

[compman]

Anyone on here old enough to remember the name of the TV programme starring Jimmy Jewel and Hilda Baker set in a pickle factory?

I know it was screened some time ago, but if anyone can come up with the name of the programme I'd be very grateful. Many thanks.

Thanks for that Gracie - that was quick!!

I shall sleep easy in my bed tonight - and yes I already know I'm a big girls blouse (that was Hilda Baker's catch phrase wasn't it?) ..LOL.

Thanks also to Mikey and Ethel, 'Great, Super', as Jim Bowen would say!

It's a sign of the times that this level of 'comedy' would get nowhere at all with modern audiences. The running gag of Nellie's sister (?) appearing with her husband Walter, whoi never said a word ....

Outside the series, Jewell and Baker loathed each other - she was conspicuously abesent from his 'The Is Your Life' tribute.
