Summary

Eddie Booth (Jack Smethurst) is a racist bigot who's always going on about "sambos" and "nignogs".

He lives fairly happily in a quiet street with his wife Joan (Kate Williams) until the day new neighbours Bill (Rudolph Walker) and Barbie Reynolds (Nina Baden-Semper) move in.

The new neighbours are West Indians, so it isn't long before Eddie's prejudices begin to cause problems.
