Steptoe & Son (1972) - 'A Star is Born'
Famous for their work on radio and with Tony Hancock especially, Galton and Simpson wrote a one-off television play that was to become a very popular and long running BBC sitcom, Steptoe & Son.
Margaret plays am-dram group member Nemone Wagstaff and clearly Harold Steptoe is smitten and attempts to up his game in acting out the lead role in the play the group are performing.
Interesting to note: This is the second time Margaret has played opposite Wilfred Brambell (Albert Steptoe) as they both appeared in the casino scene in The Beatles 'A Hard Days Night' film.
Also this is the second time Margaret has played a character named 'Nemone' - first occasion was in the long running (and yet to feature in my blog) comedy series 'Nearest and Dearest'.
