I think they did 2 Christmas Specials
The 8th and final series of Steptoe & Son landed on my doormat the other day.
As with a lot of British TV series there are 6 epidoses in all and to be perfectly honest I was slightly dissapointed with this series.
The reason I feel a bit dissapointed is because I seem to have seen most of the episodes as they formed part of the 'Best Of' DVDs that I already have...
Still, there were a couple of great episodes that I had not seen before so that more than made up for it! :)
My favourite episode has got to be the one where they divide the house up in to two and have to put some money in the turnstyle to get in and out of the kitchen - has me in stitches every time!
I have series 1-8 on DVD along with the two films that they did. Were there any 'specials' to look forward to or is that the complete Steptoe collection?
I know after they did the TV shows they went on to do a stage tour - is there any footage of that anywhere as I would really like to see it?

You're absolutely right! I just did a quick search on Amazon (dont know why I didnt do that in the first place, but never mind) and they did two specials called Come Dancing and A Christmas Special.
At the moment it is only available on VHS so I hope that now that Series 8 has been released on DVD they will look at putting these 2 specials on to DVD as well!
At least I still have something to look forward to!
