The Galsworthy adaptation had originally run from January 7 th to July 1 st 1967, in BBC 1’s prestigious prime Saturday slot. A forgotten treat for us oldsters and a potential new delight for smart youngsters, Bill Tidy’s surreal tour de force is a delicious treat just waiting to be rediscovered. uk has been double checked for authenticity and verified as genuine by at least two UACC or AFTAL Registered Dealers, and comes with our own COA signed by a director and has a numbered hologram on both the item and the COA. Each book included bizarre settings, such as the rugby game between a Welsh choir and a lady's casual rugby team held in a Salford hotel (the stairs collapsed in the first half), the hunt for the Tripe Naughtee and the unforgettable "Brain of Salford" competition.

Unsympathetic Comedy Protagonist: Jos, the family patriarch, quite often, and at times the other family members; while they do good deeds, it is often in pursuing the family's interests.

Light reading and cover creases, paper edge toned with slight water staining to fore edge of rear inside cover.Over in a corner somewhere, the bigger picture, establishment inertia and adamantine class structures were still being poked at by a dying cadre of satirists. Seriously though, once upon a time British humour was fiercely and proudly local, regional and factional: cherishing warring accents and nurturing civic rivalries, ancient prejudices (still got plenty of them, though, Ta Very Much!

As so little of their superb output is readily accessible to digital-age readers, I’m celebrating their amazing achievements and acknowledging my personal debt to them here with items that can still be easily sourced and the heartfelt advice that if you like to laugh and have a surreal bent, these are comedy craftsmen you need to know. The series was axed from the Daily Mirror in 1985, the year after tycoon Robert Maxwell had purchased Mirror Group Newspapers. However, the slightly bizarre and strange antics of the characters and those around them had a Lancashire/ Cheshire lean, with mangles, chimneys and soot ever-present. Over its length, the strip parodies just about every genre of the time, such as war films, adventure serials, film noir and even vampire fiction.

A chance meeting with old Ben Ditchley – the Lancashire Tripe King – sets them on the path to prosperity. Through our work with The Rainbow Centre and other Charity Partners, we have already given hundreds of young people in Sri Lanka and Africa the vital chance to get an education.

High points for young Ditchley include sending aviator Albert on countless suicide missions, fomenting the Manchester Tripe Wars, seducing a quasi-mystical Tripe Inspector, and hiring the murderous O’Malley Sisters to crush Jos’ trade.

Describing itself as “a classic tale of Struggle, Power, Personalities and Tripe” the story follows Josiah Fosdyke and his family, who in 1900 emigrate from Lancashire mining town Griddlesbury to cosmopolitan Manchester.
