Product Description
Description
Based on the play by Tom Brennand and Roy Bottomley, Not On Your Nellie is a classic London Weekend Television sitcom from the 1970s. Northern spinster Nellie Pickersgill (Hylda Baker) inherits a shabby London pub which she decides to run with the help of her father Jed (John Barrett). The pub's regulars and staff are an eclectic bunch of crazy and unpredictable characters that you will not soon forget!
Hylda Baker is best remembered for the role of Nellie Pledge in the television sitcom Nearest and Dearest (1968). This ran for seven series and spawned stage and film spin-offs. In Not on Your Nellie (1974), her character of Nellie Pickersgill is a thinly disguised version of Nellie Pledge. Baker is now a major cult figure and is often quoted by today's British comediennes as an influence and a trailblazer. A one-women play about her life and career called She Knows You Know has played in London's West End and toured throughout the UK and Baker is becoming known to new audiences through satellite and cable TV showings and reissues of her TV and film work.
This DVD contains the complete first series. All 26 episodes have been digitally restored and are just as much fun to watch today as they were when first broadcast five decades ago.

This review is from: Not on Your Nellie S1 (DVD)
When I purchased this dvd I really did not know anything about the series or any of the actors. I must say it was worth every "fenny" The comedy was so refreshing without being dirty. I have enjoyed every minute. I like how Nellie mixes up her words. lol lol lol lol
