Many of the British sit com comedy's of the 1970's made into feature length films often received negative & many say unfair reviews, basically because they're being judged on their-half hour comedy's on Television, these were difficult to write & extend into a full 90min feature, however, 'Steptoe and Son Rides again' works on almost all levels and as good as the popular series that ran through the 1960's to the early 1970's.

The story flows from start to finish with many very funny moments, it's only a shame they didn't make a 3rd feature, unfortunately this feature came close to the end of the BBC series, if you have never seen it, watch it! Tip: there's a Box set version of British comedy's where both of the Steptoe films were finally after many years were released on 'Blu ray'- difference is impressive and noticeably improved from the old DVD versions.

I purchased this around 2022, both films look & sound as great as they rightly deserve.

Whilst these films don't rate very highly in 2022 one thing should be remembered, back in the 1970's they were the most popular films of the year!

A sex-starved UK population? Probably not, but, it's sure that the nudity on offer within the adventures series along with the 'carry on' comedic value had a lot to say for their success, today they may seem creaky, not brilliantly acted and a overall a bit silly, but it's what the public wanted and they got it in droves.
