The Rag Trade is a true British comedy classic which attracted enormous audiences when first broadcast in 1961. Widely praised not just for its hilarious script and energetic performances, but for its ground-breaking strong female characters. And its iconic catchphrase Everybody out! has earned its place in TV comedy history. Penny-pinching Harold Fenner (Peter Jones) runs Fenner Fashions, a small clothing workshop in London that makes high quality clothing, where nothing ever runs smoothly. Work life is constantly disrupted by the shop's militant steward Paddy Fleming (Miriam Karlin), who leads the female workforce. Paddy is after any excuse to take on Fenner and lead the women out on strike yelling Everybody out! Amongst the long-suffering workforce are Carole (Sheila Hancock), Little Lil (Esma Cannon), Shirley (Wanda Ventham) and Gloria (Barbara Windsor). And stuck in the middle of the whole situation is poor downtrodden foreman Reg (Reg Varney), trying to keep everyone happy and failing miserably! (Simply Media)
