The theme song was sung by Bewes, co-written by Mike Hugg.[4] Hugg had also encouraged Bewes to sing the theme to The Likely Lads, but Bewes recalls "I think I drank a bottle of port in the end, but I couldn't get it".
There were 26 episodes, including three Christmas specials, all three broadcast as part of All Star Comedy Carnival. The fourth and final series was broadcast as a sequel entitled Albert!, which ran for a further series of seven episodes.[5] Series 1 was produced by Thames Television, while the subsequent series 2-4 were produced by Yorkshire Television.
