DSoes anyone know anything about it, it isnt on any of the Citizen Smith DVDs

Actually, I think the episode was called 'Right To Work'

"Right to Work" is not on any of my DVD sets, while "Spanish Fly" (also hit by the strike during the original run of season 2, but one year later actually aired with season 3) has been added as a "special" to season 3.


Funny enough many shops list both episodes as content of the season1&2 box-set, because they are too lazy to atually look at the DVD infos and type them into their computer - they just paste and copy some random episode list they find on the net.


My guess is that the fact that "Right to Work" never aired could have lead to its loss from the archives.

But if anyone has some "hard" facts I'd be very interested to know...

There is an episode called "working class hero" on the DVD in which Wolfie protests about the "right to work". It's the penultimet episode of the second series. I don't know if that's the one you're talking about though.

Wikipedia seems to list the episode 'Right To Work' as the 6th episode of season 2. And if it's the same one about Wolfie getting a job at Charlie's work, and starting a union which strikes then that was shown last week on UKtv Drama who are currently running episodes of Citizen Smith every weekday at noon with a repeat around half 11/midnight.

Great episode it was.
