Starring Diana Dors as the titular Queenie Shepherd, the programme revolved around the lives and, often illegal, activities of the residents of a tower block in early 1970's Leeds. … Queenie's husband Lionel never appears, leaving the neighbours and viewers alike to assume he is in prison. Various excuses are made, such as 'He's working on the motorway in Carlisle', but these change throughout the series. … Listen out for the audience in this clip, they must have been knackered after all that clapping!
