The Brothers McGregor

1985–1988 · 4 seasons

A gentle, laugh-track sitcom that ambles along with easy banter and low-stakes scheming, pleasant to have on without demanding much.

Overview
Black and white half-brothers Wesley and Cyril McGregor run an extremely dodgy secondhand car business out of Liverpool. A comedic spin-off from ITV's soap opera Coronation Street, the producers were unable to get Tony Osoba and Carl Chase to reprise the roles, so Paul Barber and Philip Whitchurch were cast instead. For two characters who appeared in a single May 1982 episode, The Brothers McGregor was very popular, running for four series.
