The Larkins is a British television sitcom which was produced by ATV and aired on ITV.[1] It aired for four series between 1958 and 1960. An additional two series (with format changes) aired from 1963 to 1964.
In the first four series, the family, consisting of Ada Larkin (Peggy Mount), her henpecked husband Alf (David Kossoff), their son Eddie (Shaun O'Riordan), daughter Joyce (Ruth Trouncer) and her ex-GI husband Jeff (Ronan O'Casey), all lived together at 66 Sycamore Street, next door to inquisitive neighbour Hetty Prout (Barbara Mitchell), her husband Sam (George Roderick), and their daughter Myrtle (Hillary Bamberger), who had an occasional fling with Eddie.
In the final two series, Ada and Alf had an empty nest, moved away from Sycamore Street, and ran a café, employing Hetty (no mention is made of her husband or daughter). They had a lodger, Major Osbert Rigby-Soames (retired) (Hugh Paddick), who always tried to avoid paying his rent.
