Love Thy Neighbour: The Complete Series [DVD]

Product Information

The storyline revolves around racist bigot Eddie Booth (Jack Smethurst) who is constantly making comments about people of different races in a derogatory manner. Also, like Love Thy Neighbour, it has the black character of that show, Philip, played by Don Warrington, running circles around Rigsby, being far more educated, intelligent and sophisticated than Rigsby ever could. Eddie Booth ( Jack Smethurst), a white, working-class socialist is dismayed when Bill ( Rudolph Walker), a black, educated Conservative moves in next door with his wife Barbie ( Nina Baden-Semper).

Mind you, I had the same, more pronounced, shock when getting used to the foul language used in the brilliant Orange is the New Black series. DVD transfer quality is excellent despite the age of the content, so top marks for the team that did the remastering.Eddie Booth is shown time and again to be the ignorant bigot he is, so this series portrays racism, but it's the black character that comes off best most of the time.
