Nearest And Dearest


Nearest And Dearest was a sitcom starring Jimmy Jewel and Hylda Baker as brother & sister Eli & Nellie Pledge who inherit their father's pickle factory (although few of the stories have anything to do with that). Joe Gladwin (Wally Batty in Last of the Summer Wine) had a role as a long time employee. Nearest And Dearest had a long run of 47 episodes from the summer of 1968 to February 1973. A lot of the actors in this were "Music Hall" veterans who shouted their lines so loud if you listen with headphones you'll hear them echo around the soundstage.
