==Sketch appearances== * In 1962, Brambell and Corbett appeared as Steptoe and Son in a short sketch written by Galton and Simpson on the BBC's annual ''Christmas Night with the Stars'' programme, broadcast on 25 December 1962. There are no known recordings. * In 1963, they appeared on the ITV [[Royal Variety Performance]] in a sketch written by Galton and Simpson featuring Steptoe and Son totting outside [[Buckingham Palace]], the telerecording of the live show, broadcast on 10 November 1963, still exists. The audio of the sketch was also released on a 7-inch single. * On 31 December 1963 the BBC broadcast an edition of [[It's a Square World]] which featured a cameo by Wilfrid Brambell as Albert Steptoe witnessing the launch of BBC TV Centre into space. The sketch was included as an extra on the special edition DVD release of [[The Aztecs (Doctor Who)|Doctor Who: The Aztecs]] * In 1966, they appeared on the BBC series ''The [[Ken Dodd]] Show'' in another live on stage sketch written by Galton and Simpson featuring Steptoe and Son on [[Blackpool]] beach, with Ken Dodd in the last two minutes as a strange golf professional. A telerecording of the show, broadcast on 24 July 1966, survives. * In 1967, they appeared in character in a short filmed sequence for the BBC's annual ''Christmas Night with the Stars'' programme. The black and white film sequence featuring Steptoe and Son, broadcast on 25 December 1967, still exists. * In 1978, they recorded a Radio 2 sketch, referred to by fans as "Scotch on the Rocks", produced especially for a show titled ''Good Luck Scotland''. This was again written by Galton and Simpson and had a basic premise of Albert wishing to go to [[Argentina]] to watch the Scottish football team play in the 1978 World Cup as the "Good Luck Scotland" title of the programme referred to Scotland's chances of winning the World Cup that year.
