At last the 1969 show! Except for 3 rough video tapes that have been circulating around the video underground for a few years now, Curry & Chips hasn't been seen in over 40 years. The controversial sitcom featured some of the biggest names in comedy such as Dick Emery, Spike Milligan, Norman Rossington, with singer Kenny Lynch, Sam Kydd, and a young Geoffrey Hughes (Onslow on Keeping Up Appearances). However, the powers that be deemed it racist and that was the end of that. I think there must have been more to the story than that and something else going on behind the scenes. Personally, I'm looking forward to watching it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Curry_and_Chips#References
Chalk And Cheese is not new to my collection, but I thought I'd pair it up with Curry & Chips just because the two titles sound good together. Chalk And Cheese was a late 70's sitcom starring Michael Crawford and followed his role in one of the most popular sitcoms of that era, Some Mothers Do 'ave 'em. http://www.phill.co.uk/comedy/cheese/index.html
