'Steptoe and Son' TV Comedy from 1972. Rag and Bone and Nostalgia Porn.

Join Lee and Dave for a lighthearted look at the world of TV,  Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. This week we cast our Gaze over the phenomenon of nostalgia posts on social media. Who exactly wants us to think that the past was so wonderful compared to now? And why? In Steptoe and and Son, a sitcom where son Harold is desperate to escape the shackles of poverty, thwarted by his father at every turn, the past doesn't look, or smell so rosy.

Also, is Lee being pursued by a satanic cult in deepest, darkest South London? And Dave takes on some rowdy schoolgirls at the theatre.
