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.

00:00A four-stroke eight, a breach of the peace, part one, take one.
00:30All right, all right, don't look to a doubt.
00:59Hey, cheeky, don't get the wrong impression.
01:02I'm making some dumplings, nobody's complained, have they?
01:06Mr. Eli Pledge.
01:07Who's asking?
01:08Ah, you are, are you not, Mr. Eli Pledge of Pledge's Pickles?
01:11If you put it like that, yeah.
01:13This is a place I'll make a wheeler in.
01:14Stop popping down, get off!
01:16Get off, will you, get off!
01:18Get on!
01:20Kindly remove your hands from the precincts of my private parts.
01:29What the hell have you been up to?
01:31We have reason to believe that you are this person's next of kin.
01:34Next of kin? She's not dead, is she?
01:37I wish I were our Eli.
01:39Thank heavens my father's not here to see this terrible cat strapped to me.
01:45We've had Elle's own job getting her here, now you keep her here.
01:49Oh, push off.
01:52What the hell have you been up to?
01:54I can't tell you.
01:55Oh, come on.
01:56Hey, what charge have they got you on? It's not drugs, is it?
01:59Worse than that.
02:00Worse? Espionage? Arson?
02:02Hey, you've been looking over cubicles at Baths again?
02:07I can't tell you.
02:08Oh, come on, it's not a hanging job, whatever it is.
02:10Never go outside this house again.
02:12We're staffed to have an inside toilet put in.
02:18Hey, you left these in our pond, I said.
02:24What the hell have you been up to at that police station?
02:27Have you been having a bloody love-in?
02:30It's not quite as bad as it looks.
02:32Things are not just what they seem.
02:34Well, would you mind telling me what our Nellie's done
02:36and why you had to get her corsets off her?
02:38I'll tell you what she's been doing. Shoplifting.
02:40It's a frame-up.
02:41Shoplifting. She's not that kind of lass.
02:43Thanks.
02:44She was caught in the act down at the supermarket
02:46with a week's groceries in her drawers.
02:48Yes, well, we don't need that.
02:51Supermarket, we shop at court.
02:53Ah, no wonder the divvy's been going down, then.
02:56You've got a right one here, a professional.
02:59Chief Constable's a personal friend of mine.
03:01Ah, yes, I know.
03:02He's got your picture on our station wall.
03:05Now, just you shut up
03:07and get her down to the magistrate's court tomorrow morning
03:09at 11 o'clock sharp.
03:11Cheeky piece.
03:13You can tell he's not married.
03:15Did you notice him?
03:16Never took his eyes off my corset.
03:20Ah, Nellie, what have you been doing?
03:22It'll be all our cone.
03:24Nellie pledge shoplifting.
03:26You that sings in church choir.
03:28I'll never be able to hold my head up in pub again.
03:31Can't hold it up now, you big ale can.
03:34Two pints and you're on the floor.
03:36There's worse things than drinking, you know, like shoplifting.
03:39I wasn't shoplifting, I was shop-putting.
03:42How do you mean?
03:44I wasn't lifting stuff out, I was putting stuff in.
03:47Ian, sit down.
03:49Would you mind telling me what you're talking about?
03:51Well, you know the supermarket?
03:52Yes.
03:53Yes, well, you know, just as you go in, you know, wrong side,
03:56and there's a big pile of pickles there,
03:58like this week's star offer.
04:01Well, there's a big pinnacle of pickles, you see.
04:03And I was just putting one of our jars of Piccadilly pickles on top of that.
04:07What the hell do you want to do that for?
04:09We want to sell the stuff, not bloody well give it away.
04:11That's what I'm coming to.
04:13I thought if I put some of our best Piccadilly pickles in there,
04:16the people would start asking for our pickles,
04:18and the supermarket would have to stop them.
04:21Oh, that's bloody brilliant.
04:23Yeah, all this time I've been thinking you were half-wit.
04:27No, Eddie, come on.
04:29I had a mishap.
04:33Yeah, what?
04:34A mishap.
04:35Oh, sorry.
04:37Well, I was just putting this jar of Piccadilly on top.
04:42And you pickled when you should have loved it.
04:47Oh, here they are.
04:49John Lennon and Yoko Omo.
04:53You haven't gone up out of bed, then?
04:55I don't know how you can stand there.
04:57Oh, don't you start.
04:59It's all overcome.
05:01Our Walter heard it when he was waiting his turn
05:03at the palpations at Royal Infirmary.
05:05He ran all the way home to tell me.
05:07He ran all the way home?
05:09He couldn't run to the end of his foot.
05:11He hurt himself.
05:13He said he felt something.
05:15Something gave half way up Yorkshire Street.
05:18Happened his water broke.
05:21It's not Walter's predicament we're here to see about.
05:24Oh, Walter, I didn't know you had something wrong
05:26with your predicament.
05:30This is terrible trouble our Nellie's got us into.
05:33Oh, Nellie, how could you do it?
05:36I couldn't. I didn't. I haven't, have I?
05:39She has got a perfect answer for these charges.
05:42All she's got to do is to stand up in court
05:44and say she's not all there.
05:46She's a bit barmy. I'll be right behind her.
05:49What do you mean, I'm going to stand up in that court
05:51with studs standing there telling everybody I've got menphal?
05:55Have you got any men call in our family?
05:57No, and there's not going to be.
05:59I'm as sane as you are, Walter, there.
06:01That's what I mean.
06:03Of course, you could always run away to the Isle of Man
06:07and change your name.
06:09I'm not guilty.
06:11I'm going to find one of those fellows that's solicit.
06:16One of those clever fellows, you know,
06:19that knows all the tricks and can get me off.
06:22Nellie, to get out of this, you'll need Perry Mason,
06:24a total eclipse of the sun,
06:26a dose of Brimstone and Treacle,
06:28and half a pound of centipods.
06:30Oh, don't say that. It goes right through me.
06:32Go on, get going.
06:42DOORBELL RINGS
06:47Oh!
06:51Ah, you'll be Mr and Mrs Pledge.
06:54Oh, no. No, we're not married.
06:56Oh?
06:58Well, it's nothing to worry about.
07:00The court will not be concerned with your morals.
07:02We haven't got any morals.
07:04We just live together, you know.
07:07See, I'm Nellie Pledge
07:09and this is my brother, Eli Pledge.
07:11Oh, well, I beg your pardon.
07:13I'm sure you shouldn't be at all.
07:15If you're not careful, we'll see our solicitor about you.
07:17He's our solicitor, you big girl's blows.
07:19Oh.
07:21Do sit down.
07:23Now, I think I got a note of your telephone message somewhere.
07:27Pledge.
07:31Is it the...
07:33Is it the gas meter breaking?
07:35Oh, no, it's not the gas meter breaking.
07:37It's not the gas meter breaking out.
07:39We're on the quarterly now, you know.
07:41Oi, cop.
07:43It's the shoplifting.
07:45Ah.
07:47The supermarket snatch.
07:49Miss Pledge.
07:51I'm afraid the courts take a very severe view of this kind of thing.
07:55There's been too much of it.
07:57Well, what are you looking at me for?
07:59I can account for my movement.
08:01She didn't really do it, you see, good man.
08:03You tell him now, Eli.
08:05No, you see, she was taking our pickles in.
08:09Pledge's pickles, piquant but pure.
08:11You must have heard of them.
08:13No, you see, she wasn't taking the supermarket stuff out.
08:15Stuff out.
08:17And when she went in, she had this...
08:19Mishap.
08:21This mishap.
08:23The elastic must have been perished.
08:25Well, it's the humility that does it, I think.
08:29I mean, the dampness.
08:31Yeah, you see, she was just lifting our pickles on top of this pile
08:33when ch-ch-ch-ch-bang-bang, a knickersnack.
08:39I shouldn't have said that.
08:43I don't know what you'll think.
08:45Still happen it's all in a day's work with you.
08:49Well, I'm afraid I don't quite grasp...
08:51You don't have to grasp it, cock. It's quite easy, innit?
08:53I mean, and, and, well, it's a good glass of tome.
08:55Well, what you do, Governor, is you bung in for false arrest, slander,
08:59writ of habeas corpus,
09:01and, er, restitution of congenital rights.
09:07Justice must be done.
09:09Not only must it be done, it must also be seen to be done.
09:11Also as well.
09:13Especially by our lily and her at the chippy.
09:17Because of me, she's put her salt-and-pepper pots on a chain.
09:23Now, with, er, with all respect, and this is entirely without prejudice...
09:27I told you you were a good'un, didn't I?
09:29He got Jack Fallon off, and he were flogging pill to old-age pensioners.
09:36This could do you a bit of good, then, eh?
09:39If you do this job proper, we could put a lot of business in your way.
09:43For instance, our lily's walters not have the proper compensation for his rupture.
09:49If you want, you could angle that.
09:54Ahem, Miss Plage.
09:56Look, I don't wish to frighten you,
09:58but you cannot go into court with this ridiculous story.
10:01This grim's fairy tale that your brother's just unfolded.
10:05Well, it's what happened.
10:07Miss Plage, the courts are very hard on any defendant who tries to brazen it out.
10:14Well, it's up to you to get her off, mush.
10:16Exactly!
10:18Mmm.
10:20Mmm.
10:22Mmm.
10:24Mmm.
10:26Mmm.
10:28Now, Mr. Plage, I think I understand your sister.
10:32She is a woman more sinned against than sinning.
10:35That's very true.
10:37But it's your part in all this that interests me, Mr. Plage.
10:39Me? I've got nothing to...
10:41No? Then who drove this poor, pliable creature to rob and steal, eh?
10:45You look like a drinking man to me, Plage.
10:47How often, I wonder, has the housekeeping money been flung across the counter each week?
10:51Huh?
10:52Kale-eyed every night.
10:54To what devices is your poor sister driven each week to try and make ends meet?
10:57Nobody knows.
10:59Until half crazy with desperation, she appeals to you for help.
11:02And with what result? A curse? A blow?
11:05A muttered oath as you fling out into the night
11:07and squander the coal money on your drinking cronies?
11:10On these fancy women.
11:11Fancy women?
11:14Not a pretty picture, is it?
11:21Can anyone blame her?
11:23If out of fear and urged on by the despicable creature to whom she devotes her life...
11:29Since me dad died.
11:30Since the death of her poor father, she finally rushes from the house.
11:34Rushes from the house?
11:36It takes her half an hour to get ready to go across to Carsey.
11:39Did she try to steal undetected?
11:42No.
11:43Almost as though she wished to be caught.
11:45To end somehow this intolerable situation, she...
11:50She finally offers herself for a rest.
11:55I could do with a rest.
11:58I've stood as much as I can stand.
12:00I submit that this wretched creature is not the culprit here
12:05and that no court in the land can condemn her.
12:07Of course not.
12:10If you knew what he's done to me all those years,
12:14it's making me into an old woman.
12:17Exactly.
12:18What do you mean?
12:20Well, I mean...
12:21When the court hears your story, you'll just be bound over.
12:24Will it hurt?
12:26No, no, no, of course it won't.
12:28That's been the same day in and day out.
12:32Ever since he came back.
12:34I'm only human.
12:35I'm just a human reed.
12:38Buffeted about from hither and thither.
12:41Blown there by his wind.
12:46What a load of old cobblers.
12:48It were you that rummaged about this supermarket, not me.
12:51And who drove me to it? You did.
12:53Why, wait a minute.
12:54And when I get into that court, I shall tell them that you did too.
12:57And what they do to you then is their affair.
13:00I have nothing more to say.
13:02Bring back the birch.
13:08APPLAUSE
13:32Oh, you all got here then, eh?
13:34Hello, Walter.
13:36You'll be a long time in there, you know.
13:38A long time.
13:41Has he been?
13:44I went in there, but I don't know whether he's been.
13:50Be a long time in there, you know, like I said.
13:53Have you been?
13:57I think he's been.
13:59LAUGHTER
14:03Now, would anybody like an ice-cheese sandwich?
14:07How do you like the coat? Is it all right?
14:09Ah, yep, working.
14:11It don't look so bad,
14:12considering it's been wrapped round our hot-water cistern all winter.
14:16Still, it's kept its shape for you very well, hasn't it?
14:19It's kept your shape too.
14:21You're still thin enough to swarm up a tin whistle
14:24and put your head out of every hole.
14:27Hey, they're hot men doers.
14:29Well, come on, then.
14:31Hey, and just think on.
14:33Be careful what you say in there, short-arse.
14:36I shall just...
14:38I shall just tell the truth,
14:40and truth is stranger than friction.
14:43Right.
14:46LAUGHTER
14:56Your plunge.
14:58No, it's not my plunge, well, have you two?
15:01No, plunge. Well, you are the shoplifting, aren't you?
15:04Just mind how you're talking to me, young man.
15:08I'm butting your coat up too when you talk to me.
15:11I pay my rates, you know.
15:13My name's Nellie Pledge,
15:15and I thank you to think on.
15:17It says plunge here.
15:19Is that your alias?
15:21No, that's our Eli.
15:23Give it to me.
15:25I will see to it.
15:27Hey, I seem to know that face.
15:29And the back of them legs as well.
15:31Who's that that just went in?
15:33It's Mr Howcroft. He's the magistrate's clerk.
15:35Terry Howcroft? Magistrate's clerk?
15:38Ooh! I used to go to school with him.
15:42What is that, missus?
15:44Now, just sit there and be quiet and don't cause any bother.
15:47Hello, Ida. They caught you at it again.
15:49You ought to find a nice fella and settle down with him.
15:52That's what I was doing in the park when you're...
15:56You'll never learn, will you?
15:58Go on, get in queue.
16:08I don't know you, do I, love?
16:11I'm new to this game.
16:16Where'd they catch you at it?
16:20In the supermarket.
16:26Between the medical department and the detergents.
16:31In a supermarket?
16:33It's a bit public. It's always packed out in there.
16:36It's the trading stamps that does it.
16:41You give them trading stamps, they'll come time after time.
16:47Trading stamps? In a supermarket?
16:49I never thought of that.
16:51It's where the money is.
16:54You must have been hard up, though, starting at your age.
16:58No, I'm not hard up, exactly,
17:00but I must admit that at my time of life,
17:03it's more difficult to make ends meet.
17:06Don't nearly pledge!
17:08Oh, shut up.
17:10I always say, if you're enjoying what you're doing,
17:13it doesn't matter about the money.
17:17Don't nearly pledge, alias plunge!
17:19Give over.
17:21Ooh, I'd do anything for a good hot cup of tea.
17:25Come on, Your Honour, don't give him any chance.
17:28Give over, you big girl's blouse.
17:30Give over, you big girl's blouse.
17:35Ta.
17:38Chuck.
17:39She's a riffer.
17:41She said she'd do anything for a cup of tea.
17:47You, Terry!
17:51Don't you know me? Be quiet, madam.
17:53Don't you know me now? I'm nearly pledged, as was.
17:56Well, still is, come to think of it.
18:00Contain yourself, madam, and stand up when you address the court.
18:04I am stood standing up.
18:07What's the matter with you? Don't you want to know me now you've got on?
18:10Do you know the defendant, Mr Highcroft?
18:13Certainly not, Your Worship.
18:15Of course he knows her.
18:16When they were kids, they used to pay doctors and nurses together.
18:20And he always won, didn't he?
18:22Silence in court.
18:24We used to sit at the same desk in school
18:26and he used to peep over my shoulder and copy me sums.
18:29This is all quite irrelevant, Your Worship.
18:32Oh, I can see you now, Terry.
18:34In girls' playground,
18:36sliding off that big pile of coke next to girls' lovies.
18:40Quiet!
18:43His Worship doesn't want to hear any of this.
18:46On the contrary, Mr Highcroft, I find it all intensely interesting.
18:50With respect, Your Worship,
18:51I think we've already caught a glimpse of my client's bona fides.
18:54Hey, shut up.
18:57Send her down. She wants solitary confinement.
18:59Hey, I'm real. I'm not married.
19:02Oh, you bonny Terry.
19:05Oh, do you remember how you used to chase the girls in the girls' playground?
19:09Eh?
19:10And hit the BTMs with your licorice whip.
19:15Yes, well, I think we've heard enough of these nostalgic memories.
19:18Let's proceed with the case.
19:20I agree.
19:21And I just want to say that if my name is used in these proceedings,
19:25I shall take legal action.
19:27I reckon that area.
19:29This is a final warning. I will have no more interruptions.
19:33Now, madam, how do you plead guilty or not guilty?
19:36I plead our Eli guilty.
19:39You can't do that.
19:41Well, then, I plead not guilty with exterminating circumstances.
19:47This is the most ridiculous plea I ever heard in my life.
19:50She always was a miserable pleader.
19:52That's enough of that.
19:55Who is this Eli?
19:57That's him over there with the funny eyes.
20:01That thing being twizzled in and out of his silver things with his jacket.
20:06You mean the bald-headed one who keeps winking at me?
20:09Oh, no, that's I, Walter. Are you all right, Walter? Can you see?
20:13Miss Page, would you kindly tell us what befell at the supermarket yesterday?
20:19You know what befell.
20:22I told you.
20:23Yes, but you have to tell the court.
20:25I don't like. I mean, it's rude.
20:29Come, come, madam, you can put it bluntly. We're all men of the world.
20:33You speak for yourself.
20:36Anything you say won't be anything we haven't heard many times before.
20:40Well, you haven't heard it from me many times before.
20:43Anyway, I'll write it down, if you like.
20:45Very well, write it down.
20:47Lend me your pen, Terry.
20:49No, I won't.
20:50Go on, Terry, lend us your pen.
20:52No, I won't.
20:53Oh, lend her your pen, Terry.
21:03Why did you inhale me when I came into this court?
21:06Be quiet.
21:08You know very well what they call me at school.
21:10No.
21:11Piccolilli-lilli.
21:13No.
21:14Piccolilli-lilli.
21:18And you, Terry the Tingler.
21:24Don't make on you don't know.
21:31I really don't see what bearing this has on the matter.
21:34May we hear what my client has written, Your Worship?
21:36By all means.
21:38Two pounds of best beef dripping,
21:41one sheep's head and half a yard of knicker elastic.
21:46That's my shopping list.
21:48It's on the other side.
21:49Anyway, I'm not guilty.
21:51It's him you want.
21:52With all due respect, cock,
21:54I'd like to say that a lot of untrue allegations
21:56are going to be made against my character
21:58by our kid and Chief Ironside here.
22:00Oh, dear.
22:01Apart from that, you're a pillar of the community,
22:04are you, Mr V?
22:05Could say that, couldn't you?
22:07A what?
22:08Pillar of the community?
22:10Ask him what he does in the deep end
22:12at the National Swimming Baths.
22:16And what do you do in the deep end
22:18of the National Swimming Baths?
22:20Same as I do at the three-foot end
22:22at National Swimming Baths.
22:24Backspoke.
22:27You make a most unsatisfactory witness.
22:29I don't think you're going to be too good as a defendant, either.
22:32Don't pick on me.
22:33Sort her out, Lizzie Borden.
22:35I'm the judge in this court.
22:36You couldn't judge a bit of crumpet in a tea shop.
22:38I wouldn't stand for that, Your Magnitude.
22:42Get him into that dock with his sister.
22:50Oh, John.
22:51Never mind me.
22:52You rotten duck.
22:53I want to speak to my solicitor.
22:55He doesn't want to speak to you.
23:03Oh, I don't know you could.
23:07Oh, it must be two hours now.
23:10It's quarter to.
23:12Oh, I must get a little hand put on this watch.
23:20Oh, Walter.
23:21What'd I say to you before you went in?
23:23You wouldn't be tall, would you?
23:24I asked you had you been.
23:33What about you, Walter?
23:35What about her, Walter?
23:37Yes.
23:39What about your poor Eli?
23:45What have I done?
23:48I thought Eli was your nearest and dearest.
23:57What have I done to him?
23:59What have I done?
24:00Oh, Eli.
24:01What have I done to you?
24:03What have you done?
24:04What have you done?
24:05I'll never be able to hold me head up in Conservative Club again.
24:09Why not?
24:10I've got a conditional discharge.
24:13What?
24:14A conditional discharge.
24:16Never mind.
24:17I'll go straight home and I'll put a portis on.
24:33I'll put a portis on.
25:03APPLAUSE
25:04MUSIC
25:05APPLAUSE
25:07MUSIC
25:31..made four stroke eight.
25:33A breach of the peace.
25:34Part one, take one.
25:59MUSIC
26:05MUSIC
26:25All right, all right, don't knock two of them out.
26:30Hey, cheeky, don't get the wrong impression.
26:34I was making some dumplings, nobody's complained, have they?
26:37Mr Eli Pledge.
26:38Who's asking?
26:39Ah, you are, are you not, Mr Eli Pledge of Pledge's Pickles?
26:42If you put it like that, yeah.
26:44This is the place, Albert, wheel her in.
26:46Put me down, get off!
26:47Get off, will you, get off!
26:49Get on!
26:51Kindly remove your hands from the precincts of my private parts.
27:00What the hell have you been up to?
27:02We have reason to believe that you are this person's next of kin.
27:05Next of kin? She's not dead, is she?
27:08I wish I were, our Eli.
27:10Thank heavens my father's not here
27:12to see this terrible cat strapped to me.
27:16We've had El's own job getting her here.
27:18Now you keep her here.
27:20Oh, push off.
27:23What the hell have you been up to?
27:25I can't tell you.
27:26Oh, come on.
27:27Hey, what charge have they got you on?
27:29It's not drugs, is it?
27:30Worse than that.
27:31Worse?
27:32Espionage?
27:33Arson?
27:34Hey, you've been looking over cubicles at Baths again?
27:38I can't tell you.
27:39Oh, come on.
27:40It's not a hanging job, whatever it is.
27:42Let's never go outside this house again.
27:44We'll have to have an inside toilet put in.
27:50Hey, you left these in our family car.
27:55What the hell have you been up to at that police station?
27:58Have you been having a bloody love-in?
28:01It's not quite as bad as it looks.
28:03Things are not just what they seem.
