'''''When Steptoe Met Son''''' is a 2002 [[w:Channel 4|Channel 4]] documentary about the personal lives of [[Wilfrid Brambell]] and [[Harry H. Corbett]], the stars of the long-running BBC situation comedy, ''[[Steptoe and Son]]''. It aired on 20 August 2002.
 
The programme reveals how Brambell and Corbett were highly dissimilar to their on-screen characters. Corbett felt he had a promising career as a serious actor, but was trapped by his role as Harold and forced to keep returning to the series after typecasting limited his choice of work. Brambell, meanwhile, was a homosexual, something that in the 1960s was still frowned upon by traditional English society and, until the [[w:Sexual Offences Act 1967|Sexual Offences Act 1967]], illegal, and was thus driven underground. The documentary went on to claim that during an ill-fated final tour of Australia the already strained relationship between Corbett and Brambell finally broke down for good.<ref>[https://www.theguardian.com/arts/features/story/0,11710,776815,00.html The dirty truth], ''[[w:The Guardian|The Guardian]]'', 19 August 2002</ref>
