Alan Joyce / ... (7 episodes, 1973)

The first two episodes were developed into successful series, Open All Hours (1976) and _"Porridge (1974)"_.

The series was to have been called "Six of One", leaving the way clear for a sequel, to be called "Half a Dozen of The Other", but the BBC required seven episodes.

One episode which was not picked up by the BBC for a series was later developed by ITV for Clive Dunn under the title My Old Man (1974).
