Nearest and Dearest is a British television sitcom that ran from 1968 to 1973. A total of 46 episodes were made, 18 in monochrome and 28 in colour. The series, produced by Granada Television for ITV, was set in Colne, Lancashire, in the North West of England. Nellie and Eli Pledge may be siblings, but their personalities are polar opposites. If not for inheritance, they would never even think of becoming business partners for five years.



















Nellie is keen to buy a second home in the middle of nowhere, Eli is more keen on his Spanish holiday, and tries to put her off.
The sun is setting on twelve tons of pickled onions. A dynasty is dying – and who's left?
A little late love for Nellie – but was it worth keeping the home fires burning?
If you go a funny colour, lie low; it's all in the mind. They can cure anything these days.
