The BBC's Steptoe and Son is one of television's most celebrated sitcoms charting the love-hate relationship between uncouth and common widower, Albert Steptoe and his unmarried son, Harold, who is desperate to escape their decrepit rag-and-bone business.

In Steptoe and Son Ride Again their loyal but past it horse must be sent off to the knacker's yard. Charged with buying a new nag, Harold gets drunk and blows Albert's savings on a greyhound in the belief he will win them a fortune. One slight problem: the dog is near-blind and can't see the hare!

Flat broke, there's only one solution, the unforeseen 'death' of Steptoe Snr in order to collect his generous insurance policy--that is if Harold is the beneficiary.
