Anyone remember the episode where the old man was sitting in the kitchen sink with the washing-up?

Yep. I think he pulled out a cup ready for a brew.

Yes, that was a good one! Question, the American in that clip….Frasiers Dad?

The American in that episode was Alan Gifford http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0317506/

Frasiers Dad is played by John Mahony http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001498/

It’s not “Marty Crain” but the voice is similar, I remember the house split episode though, marvelous…..

Voice similar, face similar. But that episode must be 1965ish, about 40 years before the Frazier….which would make the Frazier “Dad” about 20.

And who can forget the room being divided in two, with the telly right in the division. Son. “Turn over, I’ve got my rights on my side” Dad..”I’ve got the nobs on my side!” Class.

Remember the Scrabble game? The old fella had out all the rude words on. Then the Vicar came in.
Will the Beeb ever find another Galton & Simpson.

There are so many.
One of my fav’s is at the start of one of the films,when Dad picked up the horse dung and patted it down with his hands and then went on to eat his butty .

My favourite Steptoe’s were the central heating fitting (Collected from a school). 3 inch diameter pipes all round the house..6 inches cut off the doors to let them in! The hot water even went through the four poster bed!

Oh, and when he crimped the edge of an apple pie with his false teeth. And dropping the pickled onion in the bath (He was in it)….and of course fishing it out and eating it. So many classics.

Steptoe and Son was hilarious in it’s day…i used to laugh my socks off!!!
