Never Mind the Quality, Feel the Width

Never Mind the Quality, Feel the Width is a British sitcom first broadcast in 1967 as a single play in the Armchair Theatre anthology series, later becoming a series of half-hour episodes, which ran until 1971. A total of 40 episodes were produced, all but one being believed to have aired. It was originally made by ABC Television for the ITV network, with its production being continued by Thames Television. The plot revolves around two tailors in business together: Jewish Manny Cohen and Irish Catholic Patrick Kelly. Above their shop works Lewtas, who is also Jewish and imports cloth. Two further prominent characters in the first three series are Rabbi Levy from the local synagogue, and Father Ryan from the local Catholic church.

Directed by Vince Powell, Never Mind the Quality, Feel the Width leans on a strong ensemble — John Bluthal, Joe Lynch — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The series landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1967.
