Set in a small Yorkshire town where everyone knew everyone else's affairs, 'A Bit of a Do' followed the births, marriages, deaths and extramarital activities of two families, the inferior Simcocks and the snobby, superior Rodenhursts. The Simcocks were Ted (David Jason), Rita (Gwen Taylor) and their sons Elvis (Wayne Foskett) and Paul (David Thewlis). The Rodenhursts were dentist Laurence (Paul Chapman) who suffered premature death, his wife Liz (Nicola Pagett), their estate-agent son Simon (Nigel Hastings) and daughter Jenny (Sarah-Jane Holm) who, to her family's horror, was to marry not one but both of the Simcock sons!This clip is from Series 1, Episode 1.
