Synopsis:

Love Thy Neighbour takes a lighthearted look at the problem of colour through the eyes of a white couple, Eddie and Joan Booth, and a black couple, Bill and Barbie Reynolds, who move in next door. This series helps to take some of the heat out of race relations by showing the funny side of everyday conflict. This popular British sitcom started in 1972 and in this the first series, Joan and Eddie Booth (Kate Williams and Jack Smethurst) get a shock when they meet their new neighbours, Barbie and Bill Reynolds (Nina Baden-Semper and Rudolph Walker - Eastenders). We then follow the hilarious attempts by Eddie to get one over on his new neighbours such as at the Saturday night dance down at the work's social club when he tries to proves he is as good at limbo as everyone else. This DVD contains all 7 episodes of series 1 plus the pilot episode that has never been broadcast.

Like Till Death Us Do Part, Love Thy Neighbour would become a controversial chapter in sitcom history. The producers hoped to take the sting out of racial conflict and make them less hurtful, by making each of the men as bad as each other. The series would become a rating smash, often holding the top 5 position throughout its 6 year run. The series would also generate a feature film and even an Australian version starring Jack Smethurst in 1980.

The house next door to Eddie and Joan has been sold and the couple that moves in comes as a massive shock to Eddie.
