On The Move

On The Move

"On The Move" was a television show made by the BBC and first broadcast in 1978. It was an educational show aimed at adults with literacy problems, and was credited with removing some of the stigma attached to illiteracy.

The running narrative featured the characters of Alf (Bob Hoskins), a removal man who had problems reading and writing, and his friend Bert (Donald Gee). This narrative was interspersed with sketches and exercises featuring actors including Nigel Stock, Patricia Hayes and Norman Rossington. The show was written by Barry Took.
