All 12 episodes from the third series of the classic ITV sitcom, starring Sid James as stationery firm executive Sid Abbott.
1. It Comes to Us All in the End
The Abbotts have to cope with a death in the family...
2. Tea for Two and Four for Tea
When Mike goes off his food, takes to wearing a collar and tie, and is reluctant to say where he disappears to every evening, Sid and Jean decide to invite the girl involved home to tea.
3. To Tell or Not to TellIt is not that Sid and Jean are actually spying, but when they do happen to notice something going on next door, they have to make sure before deciding whether 'to tell or not to tell'.
4. Blood is Thicker Than Water
Most families have a skeleton in the cupboard and Sid's skeleton has been hidden away for forty years. Hidden so well, in fact, that even Jean knew nothing about it...
5. One Good Turn Deserves a Brother
When Sid's boss goes on holiday, Sid takes it upon himself to guard the 'goodies'. The family are not too happy to stand guard on rota, and to his cost Sid finds it impossible to be in two places at once.
6. The Loneliness of the Short Distance Walker
It's not that Sid is out of condition, it's just that fridges are getting heavier these days. But when Sid sees what walking has done for lovely Lesley, he and Trevor decide they will go along too.
7. Watch the Birdie
When Mike has a brilliant idea it usually costs Sid money. But when it only involves the grotty old garage, then Sid can be persuaded.
8. Atishoo! Atishoo! We All Fall Down
Jean going down with flu is one thing, Sally is another, and Mike is another - but Sid can still cope. Betty's pregnant twinges, however, become the straw that breaks the camel's back, not to mention the settee.
9. Entente Not So Cordial
Most British soldiers left their hearts in wartime Paris, but Sid left only his army paybook. And when it comes to light thirty-three years later, and Sid and Jean are invited to spend a weekend in Paris, they discover that the entente is not so cordiale...
10. Will the Real Sid Abbott Please Stand Up
When Jean finds out that Sexy Sandra is what makes a shrivelled up old prune with a wire brush on top turn into Putney's oldest Teeny Bopper, she decides it is time to go home to Mother.
11. I'm Not Jealous, I'll Kill Him
When an old flame kindles warmth in Jean's heart, Sid begins to burn. It really is not as though he is jealous, but when Betty adds fuel to the fire, Sid explodes.
12. A Girl's Worst Friend is Her Father
If Sid had not interfered in the first place, then Sally would not have considered a job away from home. But once she's in the habit, Sid sends for reinforcements in the form of Norman. All of which proves to Sally that there are times when a girl's worst friend is her father.- Actors:
