For Richer...For Poorer was a 1975 BBC television pilot starring Harry H. Corbett as Bert, a union shop steward who worships Stalin and has dreams of becoming a major politician.
Part of a Comedy Playhouse season, this one-off was broadcast on BBC1, on Wednesday 25 June 1975.
The show had many overlaps with Till Death Us Do Part. It had the same writer ( Johnny Speight) and producer ( Dennis Main Wilson). Both shows took their titles from the traditional wedding vows, and Bert was seen as the left-wing equivalent of Alf Garnett.
The show is missing from the television archives. [1]
