THE DUSTBINMEN
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0159868/

SYNOPSIS:
Cheese and Egg (Bryan Pringle), Heavy Breathing (Trevor Bannister), Winston (Graham Haberfield) and Eric (Tim Wylton) are the crew of dustcart 'Thunderbird 3' of the Corporation Cleansing Department - the name an ironic reference to the spacecraft in Thunderbirds. Also known as 'Number 3 Gang', throughout the day they collect dustbins and generally be rude to each other, and anyone else.

Cheese and Egg is a fervent communist and the natural-born leader of the gang; with his knowledge, the gang get out of sticky situations. Heavy Breathing is 'the one with the good looks'; forced to spend much of his time pleasuring housewives - something he finds quite annoying when mostly he would rather just have a rest. Winston Platt is a die-hard fan of Manchester City and sees one of their players, Colin Bell, as a god. Eric is a sensitive Welsh Coronation Street fan who spends most of time talking about television and saving to buy a colour TV for his mother.
