Ronnie Barker starred in this sitcom as Lord Rustless, an ageing but perennial scatterbrain.

South London wheeler dealer and his hapless brother try to make ends meet with schemes and dodgy deals.

Miserly shopkeeper and his hapless nephew run a small business.

Life behind bars for an habitual thief is made easier by winning 'little victories' over the system.
