QDid the actors who played Harold and Albert get on?
AWell, they seemed to constantly perform together, it would seem that actors who truly loathed each other would stop working with each other after a while. It does seem to make good drama to suggest they didn't get on.
QDoes Harold Steptoe fight in the Second World War?
AIt depends. Originally he fought in Malaya during this time, but later (in the 1970s) he was "youthed" and given a 1930s birthdate. This may be so he doesn't feel so tied to his father and so will more likely to try and escape. He does become a veteran of the Korean War though.
QWhat is "Pater" and "Totting"?
APater is ancient or posh term for father, as used by Harold. Totting is the correct term for being a rag and bone man.
