Culture-clash comedy featuring an English Jew and an Irish Catholic tailor working in London's East End. Fortunately I have never been given the run around by recruiters in terms of mismatching my skills, experience and aspirations, but I can see why many people have been. CAST: Lulu, Bob Sherman, Wilfrid Hyde-White, Fiona Curzon, Spike Milligan, Terry Thomas, Patrick Cargill, Jack Hulbert.

However, in popular culture the title of this sitcom has become synonymous with quantity being more important than quality. Unfortunately, in difficult markets many recruiters don’t feel confident enough to pass on any bad news, and they simply resign themselves to throwing more candidates at the client. Nor is he persuaded by the argument that religious programmes are pushed to the edge of the schedule. Then the two decide to combine forces and form a partnership, recognising that each needs the others skill. We all have plenty of choices, but the most resilient leaders are masters at reminding themselves of this fact in the face of adversity.Although the series no longer exists in its entirety, this set contains every remaining episode of Series Three to Six, originally screened between 1969 and 1971, and the 1968 Christmas Special.

First, Mr Ahmed was appointed to not one but two posts: head of religion and commissioning editor for TV. There will be the first Easter Songs of Praise from the Holy Land, as well as two documentaries for BBC1, one to be broadcast on Good Friday. The series originated from a 1967 Armchair Theatre production which starred John Bluthal and Frank Finlay. A total of 40 episodes were made; along with a mini episode that was featured in ITV's All Star Comedy Carnival in 1969.It was the start of a decade at the BBC, with a short spell working for an independent company in the middle of it. It is so easy to forget you have a choice when all the competing parties are ‘snapping at the heels’ of your service.

Indeed, the episodes, chronicling the abrasive love-hate relationship between two East London tailors - one Irish, the other Jewish - are themselves composed of sketches.Very little changed over the years, except that the photograph on the wall of Moshe Dayan was replaced by one of Mrs Golda Meir. THE first contact with the religious department came when Mr Ahmed was invited to act as executive producer for the BBC’s first-ever Islam season. I think the reason is that while a lot of the humour arose from one lead being Catholic and the other Jewish, there was very little negativity.
