- Synopsis:
Another huge comedy hit from 'On the Buses' creators Ronald Wolfe and Ronald Chesney, 'The Rag Trade' stars Peter Jones and Miriam Karlin - as Harold Fenner, the much put-upon proprietor of Fenner Fashions, and Paddy, his ever-so-militant trade union shop steward - in a sitcom that's "designed" to get you laughing! Originally a successful BBC sitcom from the early 1960's, a decade later both cast and writers reunited for two further hilarious series - this time made by London Weekend Television for the ITV network. As well as Jones and Karlin reprising their roles as the series main antagonists, new additions to the cast included 'In Loving Memory's' Christopher Beeny, 'On the Buses' Anna Karen and an early role for 'Eastenders' Gillian Taylforth. This set contains all 22 LWT episodes, including the 1977 Christmas special. - Actors:
