William G Stewart also produced the godawful Love Thy Neighbour: a sort of down at heels and rather unsubtle ITV rival to Till Death Do Us Part.

It's Des O'Connor!

Do not adjust your set! He really is that orange.

This giant oompa loompa may attract the blue rinse parade but I think he'll be crap - he doesn't have the charm and wit of Lynam or the graceful incompetence of Whitely.
