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.

00:30There'll always be an England, and England shall be free!
00:42Not what you're about.
00:43Yeah, I get it.
00:44Oh!
00:45Cut me off with a primal knife.
00:48Well, now you've condensated to get up, why don't you get yourself ready and get down
00:53to that pickling shed?
00:54All right, you've made your point.
00:55Oi, what are you doing with that, Sister Hannah?
00:56It's for the royal visit to the town.
01:02I'm going to hang it out.
01:03What, the flag?
01:04Yes.
01:05It's a mark of my deep affection for the royal crown.
01:12Is it?
01:13They won't come anywhere around our place.
01:15What are you talking about when George V, he went by our pickle factory when he was
01:21visiting the town?
01:22I'll say he didn't.
01:23He only passed pickle factory, waved at workers with one hand and held his nose with the other.
01:28Whether they pass this way or not, it will be hanging out there as a symbol of what we
01:34used to say when we went to school.
01:37This royal throne of kings, this septic isle.
01:40Where shall I put it?
01:43You must be joking.
01:46I'll put it outside my bedroom window.
01:52Folks!
01:53Just a minute.
01:54Wells Fargo.
01:55You're late again.
01:56Well, it's all your Eli's fault.
01:57Morning, Cuthbert.
01:58Hi.
01:59We're out celebrating his winnings.
02:00He came up on postal bingo, you know.
02:01Ah, something to four o'clock this morning.
02:02We were at Spread Eagle.
02:03I went straight from there to work.
02:04They wouldn't let me ride my bike.
02:05And that doggert chip has just bit me again.
02:06Says it right.
02:07I'll bet he dies of alcoholic poisoning.
02:08I'll bet he dies.

02:42I'll bet he dies.
02:43I'll bet he dies.
02:44Here we are.
02:45Oh, I see.
02:46Mmm.
02:47Mmm.
02:48Hey, you'd better pay up or we'll cut off your onions.
02:49Don't need that.
02:50Now, what's this bill for?
02:51Let's have a look.
02:52Oh, yeah.
02:53This is not a bill.
02:54What is it?
02:55Hey-up!
02:56They're coming here to the factory.
02:57You what?
02:58The royals.
02:59They're coming here.
03:00When they come to town on royal visit.
03:01Oh, it's all rickety-doodlers.
03:02You'll have me believing it in a minute.
03:03I'll tell you it's true.
03:04It says so.
03:05It's true.
03:06It's true.
03:07It's true.
03:08It's true.
03:09It's true.
03:10It's true.
03:11It's true.
03:12It's true.
03:13It's true.
03:14It's true.
03:15It's true.
03:16It says so there, look.
03:17Yes.
03:18Well it's from the town hall.
03:19Here sirs, as one of the oldest established firms in this town, you have been selected
03:27to come before the king.
03:30He's coming here.
03:31He's coming here.
03:32There he is.
03:33He's coming here.
03:34Oh, is he?
03:35He's coming here.
03:36What are we going to do?
03:37Oh dear.
03:38You'd better get dressed and have a bath.
03:39I will, yes.
03:40Just a minute.
03:41Just a minute.
03:42I'll get my Union Jack blue mizzon.
03:43They're not coming here today. Oh, no. Now keep calm. Yeah. Oh, I'm a fool
03:51Sit down and drink your tea. That's it. Well, give me the sugar. There you are then. That's right.
03:56Well...
03:58You've poured your tea!
04:00Oh, yes. Well, give me the milk. The milk, yes. Now look, whatever you do, you mustn't get overexcited.
04:04I'm not getting overexcited!
04:08Oi! What are you pouring the tomato sauce and your bloody tea for then?
04:12Because you gave it to me!
04:14You big fleas armpit!
04:20To think, they are coming here amongst us commoners.
04:25Aye, and they don't come any commoner than they are here.
04:30Then I shall meet them. Me, Nelly Fletch, splinter of this parish.
04:37Dad, did you hear that, Dad? If you were alive today, you'd be very proud, Dad.
04:46If you were alive today, Dad, you'd be selling bloody tickets, Dad!
04:50Shut up! Inhale him, Dad.
04:53I wonder what she'll say when she sees she walks in here.
05:05Bloody Nora.
05:07She wouldn't say a thing like that!
05:09Ah, but he would, wouldn't he?
05:11Hey, if I were them, I wouldn't even let their corgis in here.
05:15I mean, there's nothing that a big bar of carbonic and a good strudding bush couldn't put right.
05:19I mean, there's nothing that a big bar of carbonic and a good strudding bush couldn't put right.
05:23Aye, and when you've given the workers an all over wash, what are you going to do about factory?
05:28Look, you know nothing about nothing, do you?
05:32They want to see for themselves. They want to see the unhung heroes of industry.
05:38Thank you, layabouts. Come on.
05:43Hang around.
05:46Stalin, the barrel.
05:52Well, as you see, I have a big pronouncement.
05:59You can say that again.
06:02My brother and I wish to inform you that we are going to have an important visitation.
06:11Who from? The sanitary man.
06:14He was here last week.
06:17He's been off sick ever since.
06:21This is a very auspicious and dignified occasion that my sister Nellie is about to tell you.
06:29So should you blame me, Greg, take off!
06:33Not at all.
06:34As I was saying before I was so rudely intercepted,
06:40many of you will know, especially those of you who can read, that we are expecting royalty.
06:48Hey, are you giving it a day after all? We haven't seen a spectacle.
06:53No, they're coming here to see this bloody spectacle.
06:57In a walnut, they are stopping off at this pickling factory to see for themselves.
07:05That's all I can say for now.
07:08I can't tell you any more until I've been down to the town hall and got myself deeper into it.
07:13I've even gone more deeper into it.
07:15Yes, and only our Eli and me are allowed to meet them proper.
07:22The rest of you don't touch.
07:24With one exception.
07:25Who's that?
07:26The lonely serving employee of Pledge's Pickles.
07:29That'll be me.
07:31What? I've been here longer than you.
07:34Have you, Ellis? I've been here longer.
07:37Cobblers!
07:40Hey, look at that. A pickled hand.
07:44Put that away, Stanley. Heaven alone knows where that's been.
07:51Is it really true they're coming here?
07:54Yes.
07:55But what are they wanting to use for?
07:57Haven't you heard? His great interest is the preservation of wildlife.
08:04Why don't you come in here and do the work and I'll come over there and ding the bell?
08:08Oh, I'm very sorry, sir.
08:10Mr. Pledge is the name of Pledge's Pickles.
08:12Well, if you come about the rates, I suggest you hand yourself over to the police.
08:15No, no, it's about the royal visit. We want to know how to go on.
08:18Now, Pledge, if you're after an official invitation, you should know by now that everybody in the town is chasing them.
08:24Not even I can get one myself.
08:26I've got one.
08:28What?
08:30Well, I mean, it's more that somebody has invited them to visit us and we want to do the right thing.
08:37Oh, I think you've come to the right man, Pledge.
08:39Look, we'll go somewhere where we can't be disturbed and I'll give this matter my exclusive attention.
08:43Oi! Aren't you going to hang a close sign on your ding-a-ling?
09:00You see, Nellie, the fellow from the town hall's coming round to see if we know our protocol.
09:04Oh, I've never even met our protocol.
09:09Look, cloghead, that is what they do to make sure you haven't dropped one.
09:13Dropped one what?
09:16A clanger.
09:17Oh.
09:18What's that you've got there?
09:19Oh, this is what we got at the coronation, you know.
09:21It's what they call a m-m-m-memorandum mug.
09:25Remember that? My dad used to keep his teeth in it.
09:29You won't say that when they get here.
09:31Oi, anybody at home?
09:32Hey, now that's Lillian Walter.
09:34Don't tell them we're out at the royal visit or they'll expect to be presented.
09:37Yes, well, you don't think I'm going to ruin the whole of my day wondering, has he been?
09:43Oh, there you are, Nellie, love.
09:47Bloody hell, it's Bill and Ben.
09:50Do you remember that time when Walter took you down to his allotment?
09:53Oh, yes, to see his golden rod.
09:57He wanted to give you some of it, didn't he?
09:59Yes, but he said it had drooped a bit.
10:03Well, he's brought you this instead.
10:06He's grown it from seed.
10:08Always got green fingers, this Walter.
10:11His face is a bloody funny colour and all.
10:14Inhale him, Lillie. Sit yourselves down.
10:18Oh, isn't that wonderful, Walter?
10:21To think you just took a seed and put it in the ground,
10:25took out your sprinkler and sprinkled it with it until it grew.
10:32Oh, you're clever.
10:35You're a proper little Percy throw-up.
10:40Oh, thank you, very glad.
10:44You're still not coming.
10:46Told you not to mention that, you daft bat.
10:48Guess what she knows about it.
10:49Know what? You know about what we weren't going to tell you about the royal visit?
10:54Oh, you mean about them coming?
10:56Oh, I know.
10:57They were all around chippy at dinner time.
11:00You don't mean to think we've come here to ask if we can meet them, do you?
11:04Well, I will.
11:06If you put it that way, yes.
11:09I mean, after all, Nellie, we are family.
11:11Look, Lillie, you don't think their family suddenly decided to get with our family
11:15to have a bit of a bloody knees-up, do you?
11:18It's not a crate of ale and a black pea supper job, you know.
11:21It's a royal visit to the factory to talk about industrial relations,
11:26not family relations.
11:30I know what would happen if we invited Walter.
11:32He'd spend all the time telling them about the compensation he didn't get
11:35when he was swept up by that mechanical road sweeper.
11:38That's all very well, Eli Pledge, but I think you've forgotten one thing.
11:42Oh, what's that?
11:43Our Walter's war record.
11:45Your Walter's war record?
11:49That man was a officer in the Royal Navy,
11:53sailing the mighty mean throughout the whole of the war.
11:59Your Walter was a fire-watcher in an asbestos factory.
12:07The only record that your Walter ever had
12:10was one of Vera Lynn singing We'll Meet Again.
12:14And like him, it was cracked.
12:18So you're not going to let us meet him then?
12:21Indiably not.
12:24Well, if you won't let us meet him,
12:26could we, like, be somewhere where we could have a good look at him,
12:29like in the factory?
12:31No, that's only for the workers, not gaping gawpers.
12:36Right, well, if that's your attitude, we are going.
12:38Come on, Walter. And this is going with us.
12:41Right, well, it suits you.
12:43Make a right pair, you two.
12:45Go on, you cunning, conniving codologists.
12:48Hey, Truett, Truett, I'm from Town Halls here.
12:50Is he? I'm from Town Halls.
12:52Oh, well, bye-bye, Lily. Bye-bye, Walter.
12:55And look after that plant I gave you.
12:59Ah, well, now then, I'd like you to meet Mr Broomhead.
13:02How do you do?
13:03You haven't had the pleasure of me yet, have you?
13:06Mr Brushead.
13:09Now, you're quite sure that everybody is au fait
13:11with the importance and the dignity of the occasion?
13:13Oh, yes, well, I've been to the trouble to make it all OK myself,
13:17Mr Skinhead.
13:19I've been with birth certificate to prove it.
13:22You never had a birth certificate.
13:25Don't you insult my mother!
13:28If I detect the slightest sign of any inefficiency
13:30or any disharmony in the ranks,
13:32I could cancel this visit to your factory with one stroke of my pen.
13:36Right, you've asked for it.
13:41Are you all right? How are you? Are you all right?
13:45Oh, don't cut us off with a stroke of your pen!
13:49Say something, Mr Skinhead!
13:51He can't. He's bummed up.
13:53Oh, well...
13:55All right, Lily.
14:07Now, Dad, I want you to look your best for tomorrow, Dad,
14:11so I'll give you a little rub-up.
14:13There you are, Bonnie.
14:18Well, Lily, I sorted it all out with that fellow at Town Hall.
14:22Well, how did you get that, Mr Spitter?
14:24Well, I got it.
14:26I got it.
14:28I got it.
14:30I got it.
14:32I got it.
14:34Well, how did you get that, Mr Town Hall?
14:36Well, how did you get that, Mr Spitter? Not to tell.
14:38Oh, you know me, Lily.
14:40Turned on the old charm. You know how irresistible it is.
14:43Yeah, especially when you go down on your hands and knees.
14:46Claiming work, didn't you, you knuckle-knuckle old nosebag?
14:49What are you talking about, you big, bowl-legged, big-bellied Brutus Boyle?
14:54Look at the time. Quarter past...
14:56Ooh, I must get a little hamperton on this one.
14:59Hey, where are you going?
15:01I'm going to the pickling shed.
15:03They've got to get back this afternoon
15:05looking like they're going to look on this suspicious occasion.
15:10Well, we'd better pop over and see if they've had a shave and a shampoo and a...
15:13Er...
15:15Shower.
15:23What the hell's that?
15:25It's Gherkin Gertie.
15:27Never.
15:29What the hell's going on in there?
15:33Ooh!
15:37Do my eyes concede me?
15:41Oi, where's Stan?
15:45Stan, come here.
15:49Eh, hello.
15:51Hey, what do you think?
15:53What do we think? Who the hell do you think you are, Fred Astaire?
15:57You told us to look as best as we will on the day.
16:01Look at Vinnie Gevira.
16:05Is that Miss Rupert?
16:09Don't she look classy?
16:11Well, this is a pickling shed, not a con dancing.
16:15Well, we all want to look the best for it.
16:18You can't expect us to wear them old pongy overalls.
16:22Well, I'm not having them looking like this.
16:25So you'd better get some new pongy overalls.
16:29Ah, there you are, Mr Broomhead, yes.
16:31Yes, we're already waiting for you over here.
16:33Our Nellie's over at the pickle shed now, yes.
16:36By the way, during the royal visit,
16:38I wondered if you could put a word in for our products.
16:41Yes, so that we could put on the labels on our jars
16:44by appointment two, you know.
16:47Yes, purveyors of pickles.
16:49You what? Oh, I see.
16:51The only thing you'd recommend putting on our jars
16:54is a government health warning.
16:59Very nice, Annie and Annie.
17:02But your eyeballs.
17:05Too much cascara.
17:09Put that in.
17:12Ah, yes, Vinegar Vera.
17:14Haven't you forgotten something?
17:18Stanley, distinguish that.
17:22Oh, very nice lot of picklers, I must say.
17:28Just a minute.
17:30Do I distinguish a foreign body?
17:33Nay, a germ couldn't live in here.
17:37This germ could.
17:40Walter, what are you doing here as an antelope?
17:44Just a minute.
17:45You just stay stood standing where you're stood.
17:50Nellie, what are you doing?
17:53Smuggling yourself in here?
17:55Like a ship's throwaway.
17:59I know I've done wrong, Nellie,
18:00but you'd have done just the same thing
18:02if you'd have seen Walter last night
18:04standing there by that open bedroom window.
18:07Yes, I believe he was waving it about again.
18:12And he's only got a little one.
18:17I believe that he's also done here up his bicycle.
18:20Yes, even the saddle, Nellie.
18:22So, do you think we could stay as part-time unpaid picklers
18:25just until they've been?
18:27Yes, that doesn't mean you, Walter.
18:29Stay where you are.
18:30All right, then, you can stay.
18:33Oh, thanks, love, you'll never regret it.
18:35Not because you're family,
18:37but because of your Walter's loyalty to the throne.
18:48Ah, this way, Mr Broomhead.
18:50Now, you will find that our Nellie has organised this
18:53just like a military operation.
18:55Well, I sincerely hope I don't get caught in the crossfire again.
18:58Oh, I'm sure you will. Inside, sir, there you are.
19:01Ah, there you are, Mr Tophead.
19:03We're all ready for you to have a seat at us
19:06during this rehearsal for the royal visit.
19:10Won't you sit there?
19:11Oh, thank you.
19:12You and me, Eli, will stand over here.
19:14Now, when they arrive,
19:18when they arrive,
19:19one of the workers from outside
19:21will give me a pre-deranged signal.
19:28That's it.
19:32Melania, what are they doing?
19:33Shut up.
19:34She's supposed to be the Queen and he's him.
19:36Oh.
19:42Say something.
19:43Oh.
19:44Have you been to the Odin this week?
19:46Yes, and it is...
19:47What are you talking about?
19:48They don't go to the pictures.
19:50No, they haven't sent in.
19:52Yes, ask me something intelligent.
19:54After all, I mean, they're educated people.
19:57I mean, he's been to one of the greatest schools in the world,
20:01up in Scotland.
20:02What do they call it?
20:03Goldstones.
20:07I can't think of anything.
20:09Oh, goodness me.
20:10Well, stand back a bit and I'll have a go myself.
20:13I'll pretend I'm me and he's here.
20:17Now, she will come in, all regal,
20:20and she will probably look at you
20:22and she will say,
20:24I suppose you have pickled on this sod since time immemorial.
20:30Bloody Nora.
20:33Then, after a word or two with me,
20:35she will say, I will have a look at these here picklers here.
20:39How do you do?
20:40How do you do, picklers?
20:41How are you?
20:42How do you do?
20:43Hello, pickles.
20:44Hello.
20:45I'm Stanardman.
20:47I'm longest here.
20:49Oh, no, he isn't.
20:51Oh, inhale them.
20:53Well, what do you think?
20:54What do I think?
20:55Yeah.
20:56I suppose it'll be all right, but haven't you forgotten something?
20:58Oh, yes.
20:59The presentation, pickles.
21:01I will probably say,
21:03would you like to have a taste of one of these here while you're here?
21:09And he will probably say,
21:10not after it's been in your dirty, bloody fingers.
21:14I'd better get a golden spoon.
21:16Yes.
21:17Well, then, I'll probably say,
21:20will you please...
21:25...accept these to bring back memories?
21:28It'll bring back more than that.
21:30Will we actually see the factory in production?
21:33Oh, yes, Mr Skinhead.
21:35Mr Hardman, let the pickling commence.
21:38Right, meeting out late.
21:43APPLAUSE
21:59I thought this dawn would never day.
22:03Just to think whose presence we'll be in.
22:08How do?
22:10What the hell's up with you?
22:12Bloody bingo again.
22:15Well, you'd better be getting on,
22:16because we're expecting them in any minute.
22:19Any minute?
22:20Come here, now.
22:21No, no, I'm sorry.
22:25Oh, yes.
22:26Oh, there they are.
22:27Here they come.
22:28Here they come.
22:29Here they come.
22:33There they go.
22:36Hey, the car worked right across our house.
22:39Well, of course it has.
22:40Why?
22:41Well, they're going down the road now
22:43to see Pickles Engineering Limited.
22:45A letter telling Pickles all about it went astray,
22:48and I got blamed.
22:49You mean it went to the wrong address?
22:51Ah.
22:52I ate with that morning after I'd won bingo last time.
22:56Yes, when you were out drinking all night with our Eli.
22:59Yes, and you opened the letters that morning.
23:01Yes.
23:02Well, didn't you look on the envelope?
23:04No.
23:05No, it was as bog-eyed as you were.
23:07Go on, get out of here.
23:09Get out.
23:12They're not coming here.
23:15They never were coming here.
23:18You, you...
23:20I'm sorry, Nellie.
23:22I know you were looking forward to it.
23:24This was going to be a big deal and wanted.
23:27Forgive me, I'm Nellie.
23:29All right, Eli.
23:31I mean, after all, we're looking forward to see royalty.
23:35And we are going to see royalty.
23:38How do you mean?
23:40Because I am going to crown you.
25:11There'll always be an England
25:14And England shall be free
25:18Not what you're about.
25:19Yeah, I get it.
25:20Oh!
25:23Cut me off in the prime of life.
25:26Well, now you've condensated to get up.
25:28Why don't you get yourself ready and get down to that pickling shed?
25:31All right, you've made your point.
25:34Oi.
25:35What's the matter with you?
25:37You've made your point.
25:39Oi.
25:40What are you doing with that, Sister Hannah?
25:42It's for the royal visit to the town.
25:44I'm going to hang it out.
25:45What, the flag?
25:48Yes.
25:49It's a mark of my deep affection for the royal crown.
25:54Is it?
25:55They won't come anywhere around our place.
25:58What are you talking about?
26:00He went by our pickle factory when he was visiting the town.
26:04I'll say he didn't.
26:05He waved at workers with one hand and held his nose with the other.
26:09Whether they pass this way or not,
26:11it will be hanging out there
26:14as a symbol of what we used to say when we went to school.
26:18This royal throne of kings.
26:20This septic aisle.
26:24Where shall I put it?
26:28You must be joking.
26:30I'll put it outside my bedroom window.
26:33Folks.
26:34Just a minute.
26:35Where's Cargill?
26:38You're late again.
26:39It's all your Eli's fault.
26:42Morning, Cuthbert.
26:43We're out celebrating his winnings.
26:45He came up on postal bingo, you know.
26:47It's up until four o'clock this morning.
26:49We were at Spread Eagle.
26:51I went straight from there to work.
26:53They wouldn't let me ride my bike.
26:55And that doggert chip has just bit me again.
26:58Says it right.
26:59I bet it dies of alcoholism.
27:01I bet it dies of alcoholic poisoning.
27:04Hey, just a minute.
27:05Where are you going?
27:06Yes, and someone, somewhere, is waiting.
