A sequel to Chesney and Wolfe's earlier series Romany Jones (1972–75), the characters Wally and Lily Briggs (Mullard and Watts) have left their caravan for a new life in a council house. The new series introduced Wally's brother Benny, the first acting role for the EastEnders and Snatch star Mike Reid of The Comedians fame.

The series, which gained modest ratings,[1] has been described by the Radio Times Guide to TV Comedy as being one of the worst British sitcoms ever produced.[2]

The two series of six and thirteen episodes were released on Region 2 DVD by Network.

gollark: Or their big database dumps, but they lack search and images.
gollark: You can use kiwix for it.
gollark: The 15GB figure is for without images. With images (probably downscaled) my copy is 80GB.
gollark: Wikipedia fits into 15GB (minus user pages etc) and it uses horrible inefficient XML.
gollark: If you drop the images and HTML formatting and whatever else most ebooks contain, and do compression better than ZIP does, you could probably reach some *ridiculous* compression ratios.
