Trivia
To receive an 'A' (PG) cinema certificate some brief nudity was removed from the striptease scene. DVD releases are fully uncut.

Goofs
The horse faeces that Harold picks up and puts in the bucket at the beginning of the film are clearly little potatoes painted brown.

Quotes
Harold Kitchener Steptoe: [To Albert] You're worse than a fly 'round a cow's arsehole.

Crazy credits
At the start of the film, the camera zooms out from a parking meter and shows the lettering "Steptoe & Son" on the side of the cart parked in front, with "Ray Galton & Alan Simpson's" above the cart as normal captions & Copyright information below the cart.

Great TV spin off

This captures the heart and soul of the TV show.The two leads are so realistic that you could not really see them as anything other than a classic double act.a neat story even if the ending is predictable.but its stays true to character.some good genuine laughs.though you do feel for the younger Steptoe.
