This is one of the best ITV comedies such that its episodes, should be made available on the ITV Hub so we can still enjoy them.
It does crop up on the box though strangely not via ITV sources, it's available on the CCXTV Channel. Number 23 on my Freeview television selection, which is where I have just seen it.
Sid James is a well known and yes loved actor to British audiences on film and TV, mostly through comedy performances.
He certainly deserved his own TV Comedy show and this is it, it's really tailored around him and it certainly fits him like the proverbial glove.
The Abbott's are an atypical TV Comedy family though thankfully, not the same 'Type' as became all too familiar on our tellies. That of the frankly all too twee more middle class type sit coms, the Abbott family is much less than that. Thanks that is to the character of father Sid, the Abbott's appear at any rate somewhat more working class.
Mum Jean Abbott is aptly played by Diana Coupland with just the right touch, to fit perfectly as Sid Abbott's better half.
The Abbott kids Sally and Mike are both well played, by Sally Geeson and Robin Stewart.
The neighbours Betty and Trevor Lewis are personified by good comedy performers, Patsy Rowlands and Anthony Jackson.
In Bless this House we have not just 1 but 2 typical British Happy Families, for the price of 1 excellent TV Comedy show.
