Summary

Freddie Blacklock (Freddie Frinton) is a plumber living and working in the north of England. He's a down-to-earth sort of bloke who likes to take things easy.

Freddie's wife Thora (Thora Hird) has ambitions for the couple to 'get on' and improve their station in life. She has a snobbish streak, often 'putting on a posh voice' in a vain attempt to impress whoever she happens to be speaking to at the time.

This sitcom is referred to in the Beatles' song "Good Morning, Good Morning".
