The phrase "nearest and dearest" often evokes a sense of warmth, family, and close relationships. It's a term that brings to mind the people we hold closest to our hearts—our family, friends, and loved ones. However, in the context of British television, "Nearest and Dearest" takes on a different meaning, referring to a classic sitcom that captured the hearts of many.
"Nearest and Dearest" was a British television sitcom that aired from 1968 to 1973. The show starred Hylda Baker and Jimmy Jewel as Nellie and Eli Pledge, siblings who inherit their father's pickle business in Colne, Lancashire. The series was known for its humor derived from the characters' squabbles, malapropisms, and the unique dynamics of a family-run business.
The premise of the show was simple yet effective: Nellie, a hard-working spinster, and Eli, a womanizing slacker, must run the family business together to inherit their father's fortune. This setup led to comedic situations and memorable catchphrases that are still recognized by fans of classic British comedy.
Despite the on-screen chemistry between Baker and Jewel, it was widely reported that the two did not get along off-screen, adding a layer of intrigue to the show's history. Their tumultuous relationship is often cited as one of the most toxic in British sitcom history.
"Nearest and Dearest" also serves as a cultural touchstone, reflecting the era's social norms and the changing landscape of British comedy. It's a show that, while rooted in the 1960s and 70s, continues to find new audiences who appreciate its wit and charm.
For those who grew up watching "Nearest and Dearest," the show remains a nostalgic reminder of a bygone era of television. And for newcomers, it offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of British humor and the timeless appeal of family dynamics in storytelling.
Whether you're revisiting the series or discovering it for the first time, "Nearest and Dearest" stands as a testament to the enduring nature of well-crafted comedy and the universal themes of family and ambition. It's a piece of television history that continues to be nearest and dearest to many viewers' hearts.

00:00stroke to RF Ed.
01:00Hey, sexy! Or is it socks-y?
01:16You're getting up to date, aren't you?
01:25Don't drink that. Next door's dog's been in.
01:32They're not stopping long enough to mucky up their overalls.
01:36I don't know. Bought them a new kettle last year.
01:39I mean, they can have as many pickles as they want.
01:42I mean, they don't start till half past seven.
01:45Oh, what do they want these days?
01:50It doesn't bear thinking about.
01:52There's a turnover of young women on that shop floor.
01:56It's like an endless belt.
02:03Took your shirt lapping, you big girl's blouse.
02:08Tea on the table's still hot.
02:11Look at you.
02:13You're a Rudolf Vassalino of Yeats's wine bars.
02:17Partial.
02:19Now you've condensated to get up during working hours,
02:22and you can tell me what's causing it.
02:24I think it's keg bitter, mostly.
02:27Not you, you tater-ash.
02:28I mean, why can't we hold on to these young girls like we used to do?
02:31Well, I do my best.
02:33I'm sure you do.
02:34I'm not talking about your bottle-blonde fast cats from the Mucky Duck.
02:39I'm talking about the girls in the factory.
02:41And there'll be another one in here in a couple of minutes asking for her cards.
02:44Somebody's got to get to the bottom of it.
02:47Just a minute.
02:49Hey, take your nose out of that cup.
02:51Come in.
02:53Oh, hello, Penelope.
02:56It's Penelope, Miss Pledge.
03:00They've spelt it wrong on your P45.
03:03Ignorant lot.
03:05Well, won't you sit down, Penelope?
03:07Well, I want to go, Miss Pledge.
03:09When you've got to go, you've got to go.
03:11Inhale him.
03:13Now, look.
03:15What I can't understand is why you girls want to sort of be moving on
03:19before you've been with us a couple of minutes.
03:21I mean, is it the money?
03:23No.
03:24No, I thought not.
03:25You're not cold in that pickling room, are you?
03:28No.
03:29I didn't think so.
03:31Mind you, if you did stand in a bit of a draft,
03:33I mean, you could very easily get chucked, couldn't you?
03:37Shh.
03:39What's to do?
03:40You're crying.
03:42It's not on him, Peeler's tears.
03:44That's a fella.
03:46Oh, I say.
03:48So it's not... I mean, you've not been...
03:53You've not been let in, have you?
03:58I've got to get away from him.
04:00Get away?
04:01Do you know how he's got his hands on now?
04:03No.
04:04Oh, what's on beetroot boiling?
04:07Good beetroot boilers are hard to get.
04:09He's not doing so bloody bad.
04:11I've got to stamp on it, haven't I?
04:13Well...
04:14Tell me his name.
04:15Well...
04:17Whisper it.
04:24Well, I can't stop myself, can I?
04:28Can't you?
04:29They get going on me feet, don't they?
04:32Do they?
04:33They've no shame, some of them, have they?
04:36Have they?
04:37Not a bit of it.
04:39I don't understand.
04:40How do you do it?
04:42Eee, I wonder.
04:43What, what, what?
04:44I think it's them onions.
04:46Onions?
04:48I eat more onions than soft mick, I'm getting out.
04:51No, not ordinary onions.
04:54Here are.
04:55Remember when I asked when you asked me to pull that old shed down?
04:59Aye.
05:00Well, I come across a special brand, what we made you, it was.
05:04You mean they've been there since 1945?
05:08It must have been a bloody good year.
05:11Hey, hey, have you never seen any here?
05:14What?
05:17Thousand jars we did.
05:19Kitchen, as your dad called them.
05:23Hey!
05:24We're running a pickle factory, not a bloody love-in.
05:27You've got to turn it up.
05:29Oh, I don't know, young Eli.
05:32I'm feeling quite well in meself.
05:35Ooh, give us a beer.
05:37I'm going to lock these away
05:39before they march out and do some damage on their own.
05:42Oh, Eli!
05:43Hey, down, Stanley.
05:45Down, you have had your last pickle.
05:57I tell you that's what he said.
05:59Oh, it's got a P in his head.
06:01He says it's these that's getting him going.
06:03If it's not these, what else could it be?
06:05Well, I don't know.
06:06I mean, it's television.
06:07I mean, that puts things into people's heads.
06:09Yeah, well, at his age, best he can hope for is a good memory.
06:12No, you've told them, haven't you?
06:14About them young women, to stop molestering.
06:16I have, Molly, I have.
06:18Hey, has gone a bit Lithermanson's dance today, hasn't her?

06:25Oh, I hope that fatty Hackroyd appreciates it.
06:28Mr Harnold, Hackroyd Esquire to you.
06:30Does he fancy her?
06:32What's so forth common in this house,
06:34with your father just fresh in his grave?
06:36Get away, you can tell me.
06:39Well, I suppose you could say he has been noticing
06:42since Mrs Hackroyd had that sudden hurry and passed on.
06:46Should be early now.
06:48I mean, it's quarter past.
06:50Oh, I must get a little hampert on this watch.
06:53Well, I'll be off.

06:58I'll tell you.

07:12Well, I have.

08:24and they've kept her in overnight for observation.
08:28You've no chance there, you know.
08:30Do you know what she says about you behind your back? What?
08:33She says you've as much sex appeal as a pregnant prom.

08:44Well, if it's out to do with you, it won't be big spender.
08:46No, and it won't be strangers in the night,
08:48or I've got plenty of nothing either.
08:50You've been eating them tonight, haven't you? Aye.
08:52Been eating them there onions.
08:54Onions?
08:56What onions? It's all round the pub.
08:58Bert's just been telling me you've got these pittles back at your place
09:01that get you going.
09:02Oh, aye.
09:03They reckon they've even got old Stan again.
09:05Is that what they're saying, is it?
09:07Aye, they said they saw Stan creeping out from under the viaduct
09:10last night with a bird.
09:12Well, he was running, actually, she was creeping.
09:17I wondered how long it'd be before it got about.
09:19What are you on about, pittles getting you going,
09:21getting old Stan going?
09:23Talk about flogging a dead horse.
09:25Come here.
09:26What do you think me dad were on for the last 50 years of his life?
09:30He didn't have a hand in till he were over 70.
09:34Pittles?
09:35Pittles.
09:37He, er, he didn't get mixed up in that breach of promise case
09:40till he were over 80.
09:42Pittles?
09:43Pittles.
09:45You're having me on.
09:46You asked Big Beryl after Wednesday night.
09:49How many people know about this?
09:52Just a select few.
09:55Yes, the last one.
09:58Would you like a drink?
09:59Er, er, gin, whiskey or a cocktail?
10:02I'll just go in.
10:07Ooh!
10:17Try this, Arnold.
10:19It's new.
10:20Cheers.
10:27Ooh!
10:33What bloody hell's this?
10:36What's what, Arnold?
10:37Ah, this onion getting me drink.
10:39Oh, onions in drinks.
10:41Oh, they're all the going, ma'am.
10:43Cheers.
10:44Oh, they're all the going, Manchester, you know.
10:47It brings out the effluvia of it.
10:50Oh!
10:51My God, Nellie, you've got style.
10:54And I'm not short of a bobber, too.
10:56Oh, I know you're not, Arnold.
10:58I've been thinking that you and me ought to get together.
11:04I'm not one for talking all rounders.
11:09You know, ever since my wife died, I've...
11:13Well, I'll come straight to the point.
11:15I'll make a firm proposal right here and now.
11:18Oh, Arnold.
11:19It could do with a facelift, though.
11:21Best get working on that before it caves in altogether.
11:23You are?
11:24Oh, it's nothing to me, Nellie.
11:26A few hundred quid and about six months' hard work.
11:29It'll look a lot better.
11:30Oh, you mean the factory?
11:31Aye.
11:32What do you think I meant?
11:34I thought you...
11:35Never mind.
11:37Think of the money, Nellie.
11:39What?
11:40My tripe and your onions.
11:44Your tripe and my onions?
11:46I wouldn't put my onions with your tripe
11:48if your tripe had vinegar in every hole.
11:54I see.
11:55Well, then...
11:59That's that, then.
12:00I'd best be off home.
12:02To have me tea.
12:05To have me tea.
12:08Whoa!
12:12I, er, I wondered, er...
12:14I'm not asking for meself, of course.
12:16Oh, of course not.
12:17But I wondered what the chances would be
12:19of me getting a couple of jars.
12:20Not for me, you understand.
12:21Oh, you don't need them, do you?
12:23No, for lads, you know.
12:24I've had one or two inquiries
12:25and I like to oblige me regulars.
12:27Oh, I don't think I could.
12:29Why not?
12:30Well, look at him.
12:32I wouldn't like to be responsible
12:34for this lot going on the rampage, you know.
12:36But I'll be careful who I let have them.
12:38You can't eat one of these
12:40and then drive your car home.
12:42Go on, sell us a jar.
12:44Well, how much?
12:45What did you have in mind?
12:47Half a crown?
12:48Sounds reasonable.
12:49Right, then.
12:55What's this?
12:56You said half a crown a jar.
12:58Half a crown per pickle.
13:02You what?
13:06How do I take it?
13:08Only when you're at home.
13:11A customer of mine ate one
13:13while he was having his fish supper the other night.
13:16Barred for life from Dingle's Chip Shop.
13:19So you sell them all around town, do you?
13:21Quiet.
13:23Only on the quiet.
13:25And to people that I know and can trust.
13:29You know what they call me, don't you?
13:31What?
13:33The man with the golden pickle.
13:36Ahem.
13:59I don't care that you know we got money for it.
14:02I'm not gonna say it.
14:05And I hope that any crow there
14:07I am held as like as keeping them for meself.
14:10They're not for sale.
14:12Not even to you.
14:13I don't want to set the world on fire.
14:16Never mind you.
14:17What about that, eh?
14:18What?
14:19She was 75 last Baptist Church picnic.
14:21It took me breath away.
14:22And what do you know?
14:23What do you know?
14:24What?
14:25She wanted to catch one of those bottles of pickles
14:27for their Willy's 81st birthday.
14:29Get away.
14:3081st.
14:31It's disgusting.
14:33What?
14:34It is really.
14:35I mean, I just can't understand it.
14:37They've been coming all day.
14:38I don't know how it's got about.
14:40Hey, they're talking as if we're selling them.
14:43I don't know.
14:44I wonder how.
14:45Yeah, well, I told him.
14:46I said, that's ridiculous.
14:48I mean, them pickles are 50-year-old.
14:50Yeah.
14:51I mean, we look well selling them.
14:52Selling them to a man in lockers up.
14:54Sorry, it's not proper, is it?
14:57What in town are we?
14:58You know.
14:59Well, what?
15:00Well...
15:02What they want them for.
15:07It doesn't bear thinking about, does it?
15:09Doesn't it?
15:10No, anyway, they didn't get any out of me.
15:12Oh, no.
15:13I'm not...
15:14I only let...
15:15There's one fellow I've let off some.
15:16Who's that?
15:17Er...
15:18That'll be great.
15:19Now then, that'll do.
15:20No.
15:21Er, chemist on the corner, Mr King.
15:23Chemist on the corner?
15:24Mm.
15:25Cheeky monkey?
15:26Oh, no, no.
15:27No, he didn't...
15:28No, you see, what he wanted them for,
15:29he wanted to sort of cut them up, you know,
15:31get inside them.
15:32He wanted to dognose them.
15:36Do you, er...
15:37Do you mean analyse them?
15:38Well, for want of a better word,
15:40he wanted to, er, get to know
15:42if it was true what they were saying about
15:44about them pickles, you see,
15:46or if that, er, Stan was just a dirty old man.
15:50He does, does he?
15:51Yeah.
15:52Oh, I've been expecting a telephone call
15:53from him on the phone all day.
15:55Oh, well, I wonder what's holding him up.
15:57Hello?
15:58That Mr King?
15:59No, it's not Mr King.
16:01Well, who was it, then?
16:02Oh, I don't know.
16:03Oh, this carry-on's got me right out of form today.
16:06I'll get it, Nellie, I'll get it.
16:07Hey, ask him who it is.
16:08Fred just picked up speaking.
16:09It's Sam, it's Fred Needle.
16:11What the hell's going on?
16:12Is it Mr King?
16:13No, hang on a minute, er, Fred.
16:15It's Fred Sykes from Sykes's Grocery.
16:18Oh, ask him if Mrs Sykes has had it yet.
16:20I will, eh?
16:23Hey, Fred, Nellie wants to know
16:25if your wife's had it yet.
16:26Eli, it's me, Sam.
16:27What the hell were you supping last night?
16:29He said not yet.
16:30She's, er, still in hospital.
16:32What, for a blonde rinse?
16:35Well, I don't know.
16:36Maybe all the bloody air fell out.
16:39What can we do for you, Fred?
16:41You can stop calling me Fred for a start.
16:43Hey, hey, hang on a minute, Fred.
16:45If that Mr King does phone up,
16:46tell him I've gone outside to hang me washing up,
16:48get a kiss while there's a bit of a breeze.
16:50Oh, well, hurry up, Nellie,
16:51because it looks like rain.
16:52Hop it.
16:54Is that you, Sam?
16:55I'm not so bloody sure myself now.
16:57Hey, well, I'm sorry about that,
16:59but I'm Nellie.
17:00We're all over the place like a madwoman's corsets.
17:02Hey, look, I'm sending another couple of jars round,
17:04but I've had to put price up a bit.
17:06Aye.
17:07I'm now charging five bob per pickle.
17:09Five bob a pickle?
17:11What the bloody sum of money do you play?
17:13Oh, what you on about?
17:14There's plenty of pay more than that, so...
17:16To you and the Priceless and Incomes Board.
17:19Now, who's the other one?
17:20Now, who's the other one?
17:26That you, Alderman?
17:28You know who this is, don't you?
17:30I'm sending another couple of jars round.
17:32In a plain wrapper, as usual, yes.
17:43I thought you'd come for anything in particular, then?
17:45Oh, no, we were just passing,
17:46so we thought we'd call and see how you both were.
17:49But seeing as how we are here,
17:50we might as well take a jar of pickles home with us.
17:53I know bloody well you wouldn't.
17:55He's very partial to spicy things.
17:57Yes.
17:58I say, Walter, are you still a blood donor?
18:01No, I've stopped it.
18:04We're getting beyond him.
18:06Oh, yes.
18:07Hey, you won't ask him for some of it back?
18:12Hey, here you are, Dracula.
18:14Jar of red cabbage for you.
18:16Jar of pickled onions for you.
18:18Have yourselves an orgy.
18:21Thanks very much, Eli.
18:23These are your, um, like, ordinary ones, aren't they?
18:26They're what we're usually giving you.
18:28Oh, yes, I'm not saying that, only...
18:30Only what?
18:31Well, it's just as I've heard tell, you know.
18:33And what have you heard tell?
18:35Well, that you've got a new brand out.
18:37The special, so.
18:38They say, I don't know.
18:40Well, they said it did all stand the world of good.
18:44And I was thinking, well...
18:46Walter.
18:47Lily!
18:50I've said it to your face.
18:52Are you certain cousin can't tell you?
18:54Can.
18:55Lily, they're only onions, they're not bloody LSD.
19:00Who's that?
19:02Oh, what the unincarnation's wrong now?
19:06It's a matter concerning private union matters.
19:09Yeah, well, come on, get it over with, Bert.
19:11Aye, well, you see, it's about what's going on.
19:13Oh, you're disgusted as well, eh?
19:15Why?
19:16You see, we're not getting any.
19:21Why?
19:22Well, the way we see it, Stan's getting his.
19:25And, well, it's making things a bit difficult at home.
19:29We're not getting our share, miss.
19:31Nobody's getting their share.
19:33Them pickles is under lock and key.
19:35So you can go sling your hook.
19:37Is that your final word?
19:39It is.
19:40Right-o, Miss Nelly.
19:41Thank you, George Woodcock.
19:43And the TUC.
19:46I think we've all bestocked us welcome.
19:48And don't you look down your nose at me, Nelly Pledge.
19:51I've heard a tale or two about you and Arnold Ackroyd.
19:54We were all talking chippy last night.
19:58Ah, well, so long, you little raver.
20:05She was asking for it, and I'm the one to give it her.
20:09Hello.
20:10Hello.
20:11Oh, not another. It's like Sodom and Tomorrow.
20:23What dirty beggar is that now?
20:26The ragger and age cop.
20:28Oh, God.
20:30No, only the vicar, actually.
20:32Oh, vicar, I didn't know you without your clothes on.
20:37Without your smock, you know.
20:40Without your cossack.
20:44Cossack, actually.
20:46Oh, yeah, I mean that white frilly thing, you know.
20:48That's my surplus.
20:50Oh, yes.
20:51But it doesn't matter.
20:52I didn't come here to discuss my vestments, actually.
20:55Didn't you?
20:56No, of course you didn't.
20:57No, you see, it's a very delicate matter, actually.
20:59I came here today because I heard, shall we say,
21:02about a special kind of pickled onion.
21:06Oh, vicar, you don't mean that you...
21:08Miss Pledge, what do you mean?
21:10You didn't think that I...
21:11She did, you know.
21:12I didn't, I didn't.
21:13Oh, excuse me, vicar.
21:14I don't know whether I'm on my head or my feet today.
21:17Won't you sit down?
21:18Yes, thank you very much.
21:21Thank you so much.
21:25Now, to come straight to the point, Miss Pledge,
21:27I don't know whether you are aware
21:29that alarming rumours have been circulating
21:31about the, if you'll forgive the word,
21:33potency of these pickled onions,
21:35which I believe are called Kitcheners.
21:37And I do feel it's time the voice of the church
21:39was heard in this matter.
21:40Yes.
21:41Well, I don't think you should worry about those pickles
21:43because they're all under lock and key, aren't they, Eli?
21:45Oh, aye, yes, yes.
21:46Are we absolutely sure about that?
21:48I think so, aye.
21:49Because, you see, at our little youth group last Saturday,
21:52I found something secreted behind one of the hot water pipes.
21:55That.
21:57Holy Moses.
21:58No, I think it's one of Kitchener's.
22:00How can you tell?
22:03Well, you see, last Sunday,
22:05when one of the choir boys was in the vestry
22:07taking off his cassock,
22:10this fell to the floor.
22:12Don't be fickle, have a pickle.
22:14Need I say more?
22:16You slobbery bitful.
22:19Well, now, this thing has reached such proportions
22:22that I intend to devote my entire sermon next Sunday
22:25to the question,
22:26should the pickled onion be permitted to unmarried teenagers?
22:29Oh, that'll be Mr King, the chemist.
22:31He's the chemist. He's analysing them, you know.
22:33Trying them out on the guinea pigs.
22:35Well, it's no good trying them out on the rabbits, is it?
22:37Oh, yes, thank you very much, Mr King.
22:39Yes, thank you very much.
22:41Yes, and I'm sorry about your guinea pigs.
22:43That was Mr King.
22:45Yes, he said not to worry
22:47because there was nothing amorous about those pickles at all.
22:50No, he said that it was all in Stan's head.
22:53That's not what I heard.
22:55I heard them selling at the Spade Eagle
22:57at ten shillings a pickle.
22:59Ten shillings a pickle? And I only charged him five bob.
23:01You only charged him what?
23:03Ah, yes, you may well be shocked, Mr Pledge.
23:05Shocked? I'm mortified.
23:07You'll be rigor mortified.
23:09Excuse me, vicar. Get out of there.
23:11Go on, get out of there.
23:29Get out, get out, you bloody thing.
23:31I'll show him.
23:33Oh, boy, I can't stand this any longer.
23:35You can send me cards off.
23:37What, again?
23:39Come on.
23:43What's happening here, then?
23:45What are you doing?
23:47Did I not tell you about the beetroots?
24:29APPLAUSE
24:59...to RF Ed.
25:29...to RF Ed.
25:59...to RF Ed.
26:01...to RF Ed.
26:03...to RF Ed.
26:05...to RF Ed.
26:07...to RF Ed.
26:09...to RF Ed.
26:11...to RF Ed.
26:13Hey, sexy!
26:15Or is it socksy?
26:17You're getting up to date, aren't you?
26:23Don't drink that.
26:25Next door's dog's been in.
26:30They're not stopping long enough to mucky up their overalls.
26:35I don't know.
26:37Bought them a new kettle last year.
26:39I mean, they can have as many pickles as they want.
26:41And I mean, they don't start till half past seven.
26:44Oh, what do they want these days?
26:49It doesn't bear thinking about.
26:51The turnover of young women on that shop floor.
26:54It's like an endless belt.
26:57Oh!
27:01And tuck your shirt lap in,
27:03you big girl's blouse.
27:05Oh!
27:07Tea on the table's still hot.
27:09Look at you.
27:11You're a Rudolf Vassalino of Yerkes's Wineworks.
27:15Of course you are.
27:17Hey, now you've condensated to get up during working hours,
27:21and you can tell me what's causing it.
27:23I think it's keg bitter, mostly.
27:25Not you, you tater-ass.
