GOLD, 8.20pm This classic sitcom about the Liverpudlian Bosworth family was an instant hit when it began in 1986.
Led by its matriarch Nellie (Jean Boht), the devoutly-Catholic clan were experts at exploiting the system as they struggled to survive in Thatcher Britain.
In a fine tribute to the late Carla Lane, creator of the show, GOLD is running the series from the start.
In this first-ever episode, Joey (pictured) claims an “incontinence allowance” for Grandad.
