Andy Capp + Bottle Boys

I listed Bottle Boys back last winter but now I have another 80's sitcom that fits on the disc nicely with it.
Andy Capp was a TV adaptation of the famous newspaper comic strip and starred none other than James Bolam as Andy (Likely Lads, When The Boat Comes In, Second Thoughts, Only When I Laugh, New Tricks, Born And Bred, The Missing Postman, Dirty Tricks, Biederbecke Trilogy). It also featured several veteran actors (and familiar faces) such as John Arthur, Paula Tilbrook, Keith Smith, and Keith Marsh.
It was written by Keith Waterhouse (Billy Liar).
Bottle Boys, 9 of the 13 episodes, was sort of Dustbinmen as milkmen and was written by Vince Powell (Mind Your Language, Love Thy Neighbour, Pardon The Expression, Nearest And Dearest, For The Love Of Ada, George And The Dragon, Never Mind The Quality, Two In Clover, Odd Man Out, Spring And Autumn, Never The Twain).
