"Pardon The Expression!" was an ITV sitcom that ran from 2 June 1965 to 27 June 1966. The sitcom was the only spin-off from the highly popular soap opera "Coronation Street" – not counting "The Brothers McGregor", which reused two characters (played by different actors) who appeared in a single episode. "Pardon the Expression" itself had a spin-off: "Turn out the Lights".

Leonard Swindley (played by Arthur Lowe) was the central character. Formerly the shopkeeper in "Coronation Street", in this series he is the deputy manager of a department store.

In "Turn out the Lights", broadcast in 1967, the same character, having been fired from the store, becomes a professional speaker on astrology who encounters various supernatural events on his travels around the country.
