Secrets & Scandals Of Steptoe & Son

Steptoe And Son was the biggest, grittiest, most foul-mouthed sitcom of its day. But behind the laughter, the catch phrases and the pickled onions lies a very different story.

Steptoe And Son: Secrets & Scandals brings revelations about a Labour leader asking the BBC for a big favour, a Met Police vice squad operation actively targeting celebrities, and a descent into alcoholism that almost tore apart the biggest sitcom in Britain. This revelatory documentary uncovers eye-opening stories about the significance of the show and the truth of what went on behind the scenes.
