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.

00:00Nearest and Dearest, B584-12, Part 1. 15 seconds.
00:30B584-12, Part 1. 15 seconds.
00:57How then Storm? Got to get you better you know. So, close your eyes, open your mouth and see what Nellie's brought you.
01:07That's it. No, no, it's not xenopods. Not like it was last time. It worked though, didn't it?
01:16Pity you were standing at the lights.
01:20Oh, you have had a very restless night. Never mind, Nellie's been here.
01:25I don't know. Since you've been sick we haven't delivered a single pickle.
01:30So be soon and get better. Otherwise I rely on me in between them shafts.
01:36That's it my little love, don't blow it off with your nose.
01:41Mr. Frobisher, Mr. Frobisher, our transport department, take my word for it, is the fastest thing on four legs, I mean four wheels.
01:48Now look pledge, I've got to have those pickles delivered on time.
01:51Mr. Frobisher, you are talking to the firm that nearly won the Queen's Award for Industry last year.
01:56Oh, and why didn't you?
01:58We had a crippling strike among our pickling packers over separate toilets.
02:02Dropped us right in it, did it?
02:06But we'd have probably made a dramatic recovery had our new line caught on.
02:11Oh, and what was that?
02:13Tin lettuce.
02:15I've had a terrible night of it. That's the last time I'm sleeping with him.
02:20I didn't realise he had come to me.
02:23Ah, Mr. Frobisher, smell our Nellie, I mean meet our Nellie.
02:29You haven't had the pleasure of me yet, I mean you haven't met, have we?
02:34How do you do?
02:35Very well, thank you. Oh, he's had a shocking night, he's fading fast.
02:39Who's she talking about?
02:41My mum, I mean my uncle. He's not long for this world, isn't our uncle, no.
02:45He won't eat a thing this morning, even when I put a feed bag on him.
02:48Anyway, I'm just going to rub his belly with turpentine.
02:53She believes in the old-fashioned remedies, you know.
02:56Yeah, well I hope we don't believe in the old-fashioned deliveries as well.
02:59Now look, I want those pickles and I want them fast.
03:02Mr. Frobisher, my transport department will get those pickles to you if they have to rupture themselves in the attempt.
03:08My life will be like the wages of fear on that olden road next week.
03:11Our motto is pick the law bus.
03:15There we are.
03:17Are you leaving already, Mr. Frogfincher?
03:20Yes, and I hope that your patient is soon more comfortable.
03:23Yes, I hope so too. I'm just going to muck him out.
03:29Oh, Nellie.
03:30What's the matter with him?
03:31What's the matter with him? It's you with your bucket and spade.
03:34I was on an errand of mercy to one of God's poor dumb creatures.
03:37Who do you think you are, Dr. Doolittle?
03:39This is a flaming pickle factory, not Bloody Daktari.
03:43And who's the LC anyway?
03:45He's a customer.
03:46I've just landed the biggest order since me dad won that gold medal at Olympia for exhibiting his gherkins.
03:51Oh, yeah? I'll believe it when I see the Lady Mayor spin a gold medal on your gherkins.
03:57Hey, come here, short. Come here, short house.
04:00I've just told that fellow we have got the most efficient delivery service since the Berlin Airlift.
04:05And where is it? Laying on its back with its legs up in the air having its bloody belly rubbed.
04:09That horse doesn't enjoy being poorly, you know. He's only human.
04:13Nellie, you've done your best. That horse has had it.
04:16I'm not kidding you. It's ridiculous, isn't it?
04:18I mean, we can't go on like this. We can't wait till that horse gets better.
04:23Men have landed on the moon. We have got to move on.
04:27I've got me eye on a second-hand coal lorry.
04:30You don't mean you're going to send Stom to the knackeryard?
04:33No, Nellie. I wouldn't do that. Send him straight to the glue factory.
04:38Oh, no, you can't do that, no. Why?
04:41Well, glue factory. I'd never be able to lick another stamp.
04:45Besides, what about poor Stam?
04:48I mean, he's ridden that horse through corn ever since me dad bought it from the gypsies.
04:53It wasn't the horse me dad bought from the gypsies. It was Stam.
04:57In any case, I've got plans for him and all. Have you?
05:00I'm sending him to the bloody knackeryard.
05:03Oh, no, you're not. I can see Stam on that horse,
05:06leading the procession of the Lord Mayor on Empire Day now.
05:10I can see him there with his mane all tied in ribbons
05:14and a little thumb of Union Jack tied to his forelock.
05:18He dressed the horse up nice and all.
05:21Hello. Anybody at home?
05:23Oh, well, they've arrived. Candy and Randy.
05:27Come here, lollilove. I was just thinking about you this morning.
05:31Oh, that's why we're here.
05:33Yes, our Walter was sitting in the bath yesterday, thinking about you.
05:37And he came to a conclusion.
05:40Did he, Walter? Come to a conclusion in the bath?
05:44And what was it?
05:46He forgot to take his clothes off.
05:49No, since he retired from Gas Board, he hasn't known what to do with his hands.
05:55Couldn't you sort of use them about the house?
05:58No, it's not one for do-it-yourself.
06:00No, not Walter. Don't you like doing it yourself?
06:06Anyway, he's decided to come and work for you.
06:09Well, we'd very much like to have Walter,
06:12but we're very much superfluous, you know, to our requirements as it is.
06:17We're even going to have to sack Stam.
06:19Oh! Are we invited to do?
06:22Well, do you be-adding. Stam's presentation do.
06:26You know, like the one they gave Walter when he left Gas Board.
06:30Do you remember?
06:31Oh, I can remember his retirement.
06:33Oh, yes, the Gas Board gave him a beautiful cake.
06:36Yes, it was all... A beautiful stretcher.
06:38And it had sort of pink and white glossy all over it, you know, cream and icing, you know.
06:44And it had... It looked like in the shape of a gas meter.
06:47They did it proper, didn't they?
06:49It even had money inside.
06:51Mm, two thrifty bits wrapped in silver paper.
06:55Was that his pension like?
06:56Oh, no, they didn't give him pensions in these days.
06:59But they gave him a good send-off.
07:01I think we should give Stam a bit of a send-off, don't you think?
07:05It'd sort of sodden the blow.
07:07Like have a bit of a thrash at Spread Eagle?
07:09Yes, a few dinky pies and a few chosen words.
07:14Er, on the beetroot boilers.
07:16She could give a rendering of Abide With Me on those spoons.
07:20There's nothing that woman can't do on those spoons, you know.
07:24I could make a speech, couldn't I?
07:26We could get Lord Mayor down to propose a vote of thanks to me.
07:29Oh, that'd be all right.
07:30Hey, do we have to invite Stam?
07:32Don't talk soft, it's your big girl's blouse, it's his do.
07:38It's a pity, you know, he'll only spoil it.
07:43Stanley, we, I mean I, have asked you here to have a private consummation with you.
07:49About your career with Pledge's Pickles.
07:52And what a career it's been, hasn't it?
07:54Oh, it has that. I've been with them some years now.
07:58Well, Stanley, look now, how old were you when you joined us?
08:01Eight.
08:02Eight?
08:03I was a child labourer, but I didn't start till I was eight because I was a late developer.
08:10No, but it was no time at all before you were foreman.
08:12I remember me dad telling me, in no time at all, you had fourteen women under you.
08:17Aye.
08:20I've had me ups and downs.
08:25Yes.
08:26Life is strange, isn't it? Nothing goes on forever.
08:29Everything changes.
08:31When the sun loses its glow, the grass changes from green to brown.
08:35The sea goes out and the tide comes in.
08:39And man is just a little fragment among these great things.
08:43Oh, bloody hell.
08:46I know what you're trying to say, Miss Nelly.
08:48Do you?
08:49Yes, and I've been expecting it for some time now.
08:51Have you?
08:52Yes, and I accept it gladly.
08:55Do you?
08:56And I'll tell you something, I'll make you best sales manager you've ever had.
09:04I will, I promise.
09:07No, you...
09:08You won't, you know.
09:10Isn't that what you were going to say?
09:12But your dad has much as promised me that job.
09:15When?
09:16When I applied for it.
09:18And when was that?
09:19In 1913.
09:221913? And you've been waiting ever since?
09:25Ah, well, he said I needed a bit more experience.
09:29Oh, I can't do it to him, I can't destroy him like this.
09:31Leave it to me.
09:32He lies.
09:33I'll be tactful, don't worry.
09:34Sam, we've got much bigger things in mind for you than mere promotion.
09:37We are going to throw a big party in your honour.
09:40A party, just for me?
09:42Aye, and Lord Mayor over there, to shake you by hand and to top it off,
09:45we're going to give you a gold watch, and then...
09:47And then what, Eli?
09:48You're sacked.
09:49No, no, no, no, no.
09:53Hey, hey, hey, hey, you mean I'm not sacked?
09:55No, I mean, yes, you are sacked, but I don't like the way he puts it.
09:58Well, I only said he was sacked, don't you want me to sack him?
10:00You ain't got to sack him, but don't say sack the way he said sacked.
10:03Why?
10:04Because it goes right through me when you say sacked.
10:06Well, I said once you've got to sack him.
10:07There you are, you say it again.
10:09Hey, look, don't fight over me.
10:11I know how to sort this out.
10:13Oh.
10:14Don't sack me.
10:15All right.
10:16You're...
10:17You're fired.
10:34APPLAUSE
10:47Can I show you anything, madam?
10:49I think you're showing enough, don't you?
10:52Well, what exactly are you looking for?
10:54Oh, I don't know. I mean, everything's changed.
10:56I mean, the last time when I came here,
10:58I bought a beautiful powder blue two-piece for our Ethel's wedding.
11:02Yes. I mean, look at that.
11:04You don't know what that is, a blouse or what.
11:07Oh, hello, madam.
11:11Welcome to the Powderpuff Boutique.
11:13Oh, how do you do, Mr Powderpuff?
11:18And what can I do for such a beautiful girl?
11:23Well, I was wanting something for the evening.
11:25Well, I'm free at half-past five.
11:27Sure are. Don't have me on.
11:30Now, what can I show you?
11:32Ooh!
11:33Don't say it.
11:34Now, ah, something for the evening.
11:37How about this?
11:38Oh, no, not to go to bed in.
11:40No, I've come here to get a new frock for the Lord Mayor.
11:44Have you really?
11:45Yes, it was our Eli's idea.
11:47Get away.
11:48Yes, he wanted to do something for Stan, you see.
11:51Oh, you don't have to explain to me, love.
11:54Ooh! Ah!
11:56Have you, Ethel?
11:57Now, what about that?
11:58Ooh, that's a bit daring, isn't it?
12:00I mean, it's got no back in it at all.
12:02It's a bit more daring than you think, love.
12:04That's the bloody front.
12:07Now, look, love, let me take your coat
12:09and we'll find something you'll be absolutely sensational in.
12:13Yes, but it won't be from this lot, you know.
12:15I'm not going on top of the pops.
12:17I'm just going to a reception from one of our oldest picklers.
12:22The only?
12:23Yes.
12:24Oh, what about this?
12:26Ooh, I like that.
12:27Oh, well, perhaps you'd like to go into our fitting rooms and try it on.
12:34Ooh!
12:35Have you heard yourself?
12:36I can't go in there.
12:37That's one of those communist changing rooms.
12:39I can't be stood standing there, you know, in my liberty bodies
12:42in front of all those girls.
12:44You should have some private receptacles, you know.
12:47There's a girl there. She's got nothing on.
12:49Nothing at all.
12:51Not even a brasserie.
12:53Here you are.
12:54Any one of them for eight quid?
12:56Hey, they're not bent, are they?
12:58No, of course not. No, not at all.
13:00No, I was very lucky with these.
13:02They're bankrupt fire stock. Good as new.
13:04Well, I'll have to take one, I suppose.
13:06I know they only give you ten quid to buy a stand of watch.
13:09I've spent six quid on it and it's making up my mind.
13:12Oh, go on, then. You can have this one for three quid.
13:14That's better, that is.
13:15Hey, just a minute. It's got an inscription in it.
13:17Has it?
13:18Yeah, it says,
13:19Has it?
13:20Yeah, it says,
13:31I can't give Stan that with an inscription in it.
13:33Why not? It's on the inside.
13:35Stan won't open it, and if he can, he can't read.
13:38I can't pay three quid for an old watch.
13:40Do you have to Stan with an inscription in it?
13:42I couldn't do that to a faithful old retainer like Stan.
13:45Two pound ten.
13:46You're on.
13:48I'll have another glass of cherry, eh?
13:50While we're waiting for his worship, his lordmarship.
13:54We might as well as wish we had it done.
13:56Are you not nervous, are you?
13:58Oh, I'm as steady as a little...
13:59Oh, I'm sorry. I spilled it all on you.
14:02Oh, I am sorry.
14:06I'd better do it. It's your husband's.
14:10Oh, it's all a bit set here.
14:12Get up, Walt. You're sat sitting in a buggle.
14:15Oh, well, he's not done it again, has he?
14:19He's had a bit of a mishap.
14:21It was the same when I took him to a rugby league cup final.
14:23Only five minutes to go, they were drawing three all.
14:26Just have to wriggle about all over the place, you do.
14:28Well, I wasn't pushing through with that crowd.
14:30He had to make do with a rolled-up souvenir programme.
14:33That's enough of that.
14:34Never know a language like that, you know, when his worship comes.
14:36And that goes for the lot of you, too.
14:38I want to give a good resemblance of us all to him.
14:41Now, he'll be here any minute.
14:43It's quarter to.
14:44Oh, I must get a little hand put on this watch.
14:47Mary, there's a big Rolls-Royce test drove up our yard.
14:51It must be him.
14:52Yes, it must be him.
14:53Now, don't get excited, everybody. Keep calm, keep calm.
14:56He's only inhuman, like us.
14:58Now, did you get a nice watch for Stan?
15:00Certainly, I did. 15 jewels.
15:02It's shockproof, waterproof, and in a lovely presentation box.
15:05Look.
15:06Yeah, presentation box.
15:07That's the box my dad kept his false teeth in.
15:10Is he tellers-like?
15:12You're lying, tri-pound.
15:14I can see the dents in there where me dad's dentures dented it.
15:19Well, it's too late now. It is here.
15:21Oh.
15:22Oh, your Lord Worshipfulness.
15:24That's not the...
15:25That's his chief rent collector.
15:28Get off.
15:29I can't.
15:30Why not?
15:31The suspender's gone.
15:32Get off!
15:33Come on.
15:34What's up with you?
15:36Be upstanding for his Worship of the Lord Mayor.
15:39Alderman Sir Alfred N. Pawn.
15:42OBEJP.
15:45Right.
15:51Do you like Pledge? The Lord's the place.
15:53Yes, with me.
15:55What's all this, then? I thought we were going straight to the boozer.
15:59Pledges have put themselves out.
16:01Put themselves out?
16:02I wish they had.
16:03I wish they had.
16:04I can strangle a pint.
16:06Er, would his Worship like to have a little nibble with me,
16:10like an ice cream cone,
16:12or a couple of salmon sandwiches with the crosses off?
16:18No, thanks, girlie.
16:19I'm all right. I had some fish and chips in the car.
16:21Oh, yes.
16:22I've had a tiring day, you know.
16:24Yes, you look exhaustorated.
16:27Yes, well, you'd look exhaustorated, too,
16:29if I had to carry this bloody lot round all the time.
16:31I'm sure.
16:32Now, let's see.
16:33I started off with a couple of weddings at the Derby and Dome Club.
16:36Hmm.
16:37They're getting sex mad down there.
16:39Then I finished up after that.
16:41I did some bloody dib-dab-dibbing at a Boy Scouts campfire.
16:44Oh, it gets on the chest, I'll bet.
16:46Oh, it was very bad.
16:48And after that, I had to pretend to be a casualty for the Civil Defence.
16:52They dropped me off the bloody stretcher three times.
16:55That was awful, but it would have been worse if you'd been real.
16:58Yes.
16:59Yes.
17:01Well, what is it this time, then?
17:03Apprentice of the Year or Piddle-off Long and Faithful Servant?
17:06It's Piddle-off... I mean, it's, er...
17:08Oh, Stan, he's, er, retiring.
17:11Oh, is he? Hmm, I see.
17:13Well, let's get on with it, then.
17:14Give us the go-watch speech, Harry.
17:16Ah, darn.
17:17I could murder a pint, you know.
17:18HE LAUGHS
17:20Come on, Greg.
17:22Ian, I wonder if the Duke of Edinburgh's like that.
17:25HE LAUGHS
17:27Oh, this is Stanley.
17:31Just look at you.
17:33This is in your honour, you know, this, isn't it?
17:35Get your hair combed.
17:37Look at it sticking up there.
17:38I'll soon settle it.
17:39HE LAUGHS
17:46Come on, come on.
17:47They'll be putting the towels on in a minute.
17:49Well, ladies and gentlemen, fellow Picklers,
17:51the management of Fletcher's Bureau of Prickles,
17:54that's her and me,
17:55would like to thank Stanley for the many years of service
17:59that he has devoted to the firm.
18:01CHEERING
18:03Yes, yes.
18:04Years when he's umped his gherkins
18:06from one end of Lancashire to the other.
18:08LAUGHTER
18:10And I'd like to call on the Lord Mayor at this moment,
18:13ladies and gentlemen,
18:14to present this lovely go-watch at your worship.
18:18CHEERING
18:21Thank you, thank you very much, ladies and gentlemen.
18:24Well, uh, Cedal and Nemogen...
18:26Oh, I beg your pardon.
18:27LAUGHTER
18:29Of all the times I've been afforded the honour
18:32to attend such occasions as these,
18:34I can honestly say I've never set eyes
18:38on such a radiantly lovely Carnival Queen.
18:41What are you talking about?
18:42LAUGHTER
18:44Give me the wrong bloody speech!
18:46LAUGHTER
18:48Never mind, never mind.
18:50The moment's gone.
18:51Sorry, ladies and gentlemen.
18:53Well, all I can say is, Whack,
18:55that I hope you'll have a very happy and successful retirement.
18:59Hooray!
19:00Marry him, you big girl!
19:03It's him!
19:04Hey, hey, hey.
19:05I don't mind if you present Grenville Witch-Sack
19:08instead of me, Miss Nelly.
19:10Sit down, I'll cut your pension off.
19:12LAUGHTER
19:13I think you should have got a go-watch for him,
19:15by the look of him.
19:16Save me coming back next week.
19:18Who is it, then?
19:19It's him. Come on.
19:20Come on, come on.
19:21That's it.
19:22Hello, what do you say?
19:23Thanks.
19:24HE CHUCKLES
19:25HE BLOWS A RASPBERRY
19:27It's a lovely watch, isn't it?
19:29By God, it ought to be. It's mine!
19:31It is?
19:32LAUGHTER
19:33It's mine!
19:34They were pinched off me last year at the Licence Fiddler's Bowl.
19:37Look, it's got it written here.
19:38Presented to Alfenthorn.
19:40They are the boy soprano.
19:41You're not Alfenthorn, the boy soprano.
19:43Alfenthorn THE boy soprano.
19:46HE SINGS
19:57Bloody hell!
19:58LAUGHTER
20:00You are Alfenthorn, the boy soprano.
20:02Yes, and in five minutes, you'll be Eli Plakes, the boy soprano!
20:06LAUGHTER
20:08Ooh, I could kill him, I could.
20:10Don't you worry, Stan, about that watch.
20:12I'll see you get one.
20:14So, would you like me dad's that great big gold hunter of me dad's, eh?
20:18Aw, and don't you worry about Storm.
20:21When we've had him put down, I'll see he gets a good funeral.
20:25Have him put down? What for?
20:27Well, it's only kindness, you know. He's poorly sick.
20:30He's not sick. He's pregnant.
20:33LAUGHTER
20:35Pregnant? How the hell can he be pregnant?
20:38Is he in or her?
20:40Nay, Storm's a lass. Have you never looked?
20:43LAUGHTER
20:45I'm more to do with my time than looking under horses to see what they are.
20:50LAUGHTER
20:52I tell you, he's a girl.
20:54A girl? You mean to say Pledges Pickle are expecting a happy event?
20:58Course they are. Is that why you were sacking me?
21:01Cos you thought Storm was ill?
21:03I thought he were dying.
21:05I never for a minute imagined our Storm was in the club.
21:09LAUGHTER
21:14Oh, I can't stand the suspense.
21:17From now on, that horse is on the pill.
21:20LAUGHTER
21:22He won't be long now.
21:24I wonder if it's a boy or a girl.
21:26I'd like to get my hands on the father.
21:29I wonder when it was that she, you know...
21:32When she what?
21:34You know. What?
21:36When she conceived.
21:39LAUGHTER
21:41Well, it wasn't at the Horse of the Year show, that's for bloody sure.
21:45I wonder if it was when you were thinking of playing Poldo on her in Cheshire,
21:49when you had those big ideas about asking the Duke of Edinburgh
21:53about the royal pickling rights.
21:55She was nuzzling up to one of his ponies.
21:58You mean she was hobnobbing with one of those thoroughbred bluebloods of his?
22:03Yes, it could have been that or it could have been on the works outing.
22:07When the lorry broke, when the thing broke down, the Sharabank.
22:11She did come back on her own with a kiss-me-quick hat on.
22:14Or do you think it might have been a moment of summer madness
22:17on the beach by the sea?
22:19She's a cart horse, not bloody Vanessa Redgrave.
22:23Well, I wonder which it was, Cheshire or Blackpool.
22:27Here we are.
22:29CHEERING
22:31APPLAUSE
22:35Blackpool!
22:37APPLAUSE
23:01MUSIC FADES
23:32BUZZING
23:38Nearest and dearest.
23:41B584-12, part one.
23:47Fifteen seconds.
24:01BUZZING
24:08MUSIC
24:10APPLAUSE
24:12APPLAUSE
24:30How then, Storm?
24:32Got to get you better, you know.
24:35So, close your eyes, open your mouth and see what Nelly's brought you.
24:40That's it. No, no, it's not centipodes.
24:44Not like it was last time.
24:47It worked though, didn't it?
24:49Pity you were standing at the lights.
24:52Oh, you have had a very restless night.
24:56Never mind, Nelly's been here.
24:58I don't know.
25:00Since you've been sick, we haven't delivered a single pickle.
25:03So be soon and get better.
25:06Otherwise, I'll have me in between them shafts.
25:10That's it, my little love. Don't blow it off with your nose.
25:14Mr Frobisher, our transport department, take my word for it,
25:18is the fastest thing on four legs, I mean four wheels.
25:21I've got 12 hospitals delivered on time.
25:24Mr Frobisher, you are talking to the firm
25:27that nearly won the Queen's Award for Industry last year.
25:30Oh, and why didn't you?
25:32There was a crippling strike among our picklerly packers over separate toilets.
25:38Doctors rised in it, they did.
25:41But we'd have probably made a dramatic recovery had our new line caught on.
25:45Oh, and what was that?
25:46Tin lettuce.
25:48I've had a terrible night, innit? That's the last time I'm sleeping with him.
25:52Oh, I didn't mean...
