The television episodes were remade for radio, often with the original cast; it is these that were made available on cassette and CD. After the series of "Steptoe and Son" had officially finished, Corbett and Brambell played the characters again on radio (in a newly written sketch to tie in with the Scottish Team's participation in the 1978 World Cup), as well as in a television commercial for Kenco coffee. The two men reunited in January 1981 for one final performance as "Steptoe and Son" in a further commercial for Kenco."
