- Synopsis:
David Jason stars with Peter Armitage in this LWT sitcom centred around the tangled romantic lives of two brothers living at home with their mum in south-east London. Often regarded as a precursor to 'Only Fools and Horses', 'Lucky Feller' was a relatively early showcase for Jason's comic talents, penned by Terence Frisby - the award-winning author of stage hit 'There's a Girl in My Soup' - and produced by comedy veteran Humphrey Barclay. This set presents the complete series, originally transmitted in 1976, and an unscreened pilot episode with different cast members. In a role which would be reversed to phenomenal success less than a decade later, Jason plays nerdy, girl-shy Shorty Mepstead, with Armitage as his sharper, more worldly brother Randy; together, the siblings run a small plumbing and repair business. Unfortunately, Randy is also a consummate chat-up artist with no shortage of female admirers - and they include Shorty's girlfriend, Kath... - Actors:
