This heartwarming yet genuinely funny sitcom set in the lounge
of a council house in Manchester
was to become a national treasure.
The show consisted mainly of the family watching TV, smoking cigarettes,
and making cups of tea, while Dad broke wind and railed against
society.
In the same way Del Boy and Rodney had been Cockney heroes of the
Eighties, Dave, Denise and the rest were to become Northern champions
of the new Millennium.
