Tripper's Day/Slinger's Day

This Memory is looking a little short on nostalgia! Have you got anything you could add?

Originally starring Leonard Rossiter (a truly great comedy actor) as the mean boss of an average supermarket - the first time that this "situation" had been used in a situation comedy. Sadly, Leonard's early death cut short the original series. It was brought back as Slinger's Day, starring (I think) Bruce Forsyth in the lead role.

Do You Remember Tripper's Day/Slinger's Day?

I remember thinking at the time, "My god Leonard must be strapped for cash stooping so low as to take the lead in such a turkey" Rising Damp it was not! Simply dry rot!
