In Queenies Castle, Queenie Shepherd (Diana Dors) is the big, brash, blonde, bolshy and brassy woman everyone knows round Buckingham Flats. She is the one to watch out for at Margaret Rose House, where she rules the roost from her pokey little council flat.

Sharing the flat is brother-in-law Jack (Tony Caunter) and her three feckless, workshy sons, Douglas, Raymond and Bunny, they are the original problem family, Queenie has the lads just where she wants them. The only threat to Queenies reign comes from the head of the local residents association, the officious Mrs Petty (Lynne Perrie).

This is a Yorkshire TV sitcom from 1970, episode 1 and 2 are in colour, the rest in black and white. I had never heard of Queenies Castle, but enjoyed it!

Here is the theme...
