try a web site called TV cream

 

The "Sykes" one is on there and it was with Hattie Jaques and Eric Sykes as brother and sister.

 

lots more fun stuff on this site too.

"The series was titled Sykes And A... so that the given theme of each episode could complete the title."

 

"In these 60 episodes Eric played 'Eric', a gaunt, accident-prone, eternal child, and Hattie played 'Hattie' (often shortened to 'Hat'), a likeable soul who tended to view the world with wonderment, and put up with Eric's exuberance and erratic behaviour because, improbably, he was her twin brother."

 

Read, learn and inwardly digest here.

I hadn't seen this thread, came across it whilst searching for the Shefield Gales 1962 thread. but in the recent spirit of resurrrecting old threads, I just had to comment!

 

(Chuckles to herself)

 

Not only were Eric and Hattie twins, but they were identical twins!

 

(That, incidentally, was straight out of Eric Sykes' mouth!)
