It's strange the way that some series seem to get re-played over and over again, while others seem to disappear without trace.

Can anyone remember "Brass" (1983/4) that wonderful spoof on northern industrial romantic novels like those by Catherine Cookson. It starred Timothy West as the mine owner and Barbara Ewing as Agnes Fairchild the busty poor houswife whose blouse was always ripped open - usually by Bradley Hardacre or his son.
