The links are to a completely different programme on BBC Four shown in 2008, which was a drama, whereas this is a documentary shown on Channel 4 in 2002. Polemicista (talk) 16:30, 1 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Disputed claims

edit

Is it not the case that some of the claims made in this documentary have been challenged by some of Harry H. Corbett's relatives including the "claim that during an ill-fated final tour of Australia the already strained relationship between Corbett and Brambell finally broke down for good." ? Some of this noted at the Wilfrid Brambell article and the later The Curse of Steptoe was the subject of serious criticism about the accuracy of how it depicted the relationship between Corbett and Brambell which led to its DVD being recalled. I am not saying that the claims of documentary should not be included, but that it might be worth adding material noting that they were not universally accepted.
