Product Details
Meet the Larkins: hen-pecked but crafty Alf and his domineering wife Ada
(played to perfection by BAFTA winner David Kossoff and TV battleaxe par
excellence Peggy Mount), aimless son Eddie, daughter Joyce, and ex-GI son-in-law
Jeff.
The entire family spends the first four series of this classic early ATV sitcom
in a state falling somewhat short of domestic bliss at 66 Sycamore Street, East
London; series five and six see Alf and Ada upping sticks to run a little cafe
and B&B, with former neighbour and general busybody Hetty Prout helping out in
the kitchen.
Based on creator Fred Robinson's youthful plays about a fictional Cockney
family, The Larkins features scripts that ATV production controller Bill
Ward described as the funniest he had ever read, and inspired deep affection
among viewers throughout its run between 1958 and 1964. Now, for the first time,
this set presents all 40 episodes, all of which have been transferred from the
original film telerecordings.
