BSG Review:	Steptoe and Son is a real television classic. The fact that the two lead actors hated each other in real life as well as on screen means you couldn't get a more realistic portrayal of the relationship between the disgusting old widower father and his unmarried son. Great stuff.
Notes:	American sitcom "Sandford and Son" was based on this show.
