A large seaside Victorian house converted into flats was the setting for “a slice of life without the sugar” in this daytime soap opera from Yorkshire Television.
The local watering hole for the inhabitants of the flats was a pub called the Gate Hangs Well, presided over by the demanding widow Delilah Hildrup (Jill Summers).
The twice-weekly soap only lasted two years, and all the recordings have since been erased.
Two of the residents did survive and go on to greater things – Gretchen Franklin became Ethel in EastEnders, and Kathy Staff went on to Last of The Summer Wine.
