'''''The Lady Is a Tramp''''' is a [[television program]]me in the [[situation comedy]] format that was one of the first series to be shown on the then-new British television channel, [[Channel 4]], between 1983 and 1984. (It started on 8 January 1983; the channel had begun broadcasting only the previous November.)

Written by [[Johnny Speight]], the programme lasted for two series, and totalled 13 episodes.<ref name="summary">[http://www.phill.co.uk/comedy/tramp/index.html British TV comedy site]</ref>

==Synopsis==
Old Pat and Lanky Pat are a pair of elderly tramps or "bag ladies" who have spent many years sleeping rough in such places as on park benches in [[London]].

The two move into a derelict van in an apparently unused yard. They then resist repeated attempts to move them from their new home.

==Chief characters and actresses==
* Old Pat — played by [[Patricia Hayes]]
* Lanky Pat — played by [[Pat Coombs]]

The character of Old Pat echoes the title role in the [[Jeremy Sandford]] drama "Edna the Inebriate Woman" which Hayes had played in 1971, but is done with a greater sense of comedy. According to her autobiography, Hayes used costume items from her performance as Edna in the role of Old Pat.<ref>Hayes P. It's a Funny Old Life, published 1990</ref>

* Directors: [[Douglas Argent]] & [[Dennis Main Wilson]]
