The Pilot (S0-E01) or S01-E00) "When a Black couple moves in next door, Eddie decides that he and his wife Joan must move. He changes his mind when he sees the woman, but trouble is still afoot." The unaired pilot episode featured Jack Smethurst (Eddie), Rudolph Walker (Bill), and Nina Baden-Semper (Barbie) with Gwendolyn Watts as Joan Booth (instead of Kate Williams as in the series and film). The pilot episode script was modified slightly for the first episode of the series, which was titled "New Neighbours".
