Handbags   (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)

There's a cracking bit in a Steptoe episode where father and son are on a plane and Harold is winding the old boy up as he (Albert) has never flown before and is scared.

Eventually, Albert retaliates and tells Harold that when they get home he'll put earwigs on Harold's pillow and they'll get into his ears.

that shut him up.
