Alfie Bass and Bill Fraser starred in this short-lived Saturday night comedy series from ATV Weekend television which debuted on 1 April 1967 and ran for seven weeks.
Alf Grimble (Bass) was the bumbling foreman at the jack-of-all-trades building firm of Bendlove and Bodium Ltd, which also had a sideline in undertaking! The firm’s hearse was also their only transport for sand, cement and timber . . .
Mr William Bendlove (Bill Fraser) was the boss (his senior partner, Mr Bodium was deceased). Other regulars included Jack Haig, Nicky Henson, Arthur Mullard and Laurie Leigh as cheeky secretary-cum-tea girl, Sandra.
