* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Regarding who of the Steptoes is the most sympathetic. Is Harold a pretentious nit who wants to be among the upper classes without really understanding why, or does he genuinely just want better things for both him and his father? Is Albert a bitter, lazy, dirty old man who can't accept that his son aspires to a higher social station, or is he just a very lonely old man who's afraid of his son leaving him? It tends to vary depending on the episode, as well.

* GenreTurningPoint: For British sitcoms. It was one of the first to cast actors in the lead roles rather than comedians (the writers didn't want people who would "count their laughs") and in an age when the predominant sources of laughter in British comedy were farce, coincidence, slapstick and innuendo, it dealt with social and class issues.

"A show with horses in it becomes popular" is really stretching the definition of what makes a comment about a broken-down horse being fit only for the Knacker's Yard in a 1960s/1970s sitcom less funny in hindsight. It really has to be something more directly connected to the series.
