'''''For Richer...For Poorer''''' was a 1975 [[BBC]] television pilot starring [[Harry H. Corbett]] as Bert, a union [[shop steward]] who worships [[Stalin]] and has dreams of becoming a major politician.<br />
<br />
Part of a ''[[Comedy Playhouse]]'' season, this one-off was broadcast on [[BBC1]], on Wednesday 25 June 1975.<br />
<br />
The show had many overlaps with ''[[Till Death Us Do Part]]''. It had the same writer ([[Johnny Speight]]) and producer ([[Dennis Main Wilson]]). Both shows took their titles from the traditional wedding vows, and Bert was seen as the left-wing equivalent of [[Alf Garnett]].<br />
<br />
The show is missing from the television archives.<ref>[http://lostshows.com/default.aspx?episode=7cf4a4ed-22d4-4d97-a50f-620912a9d478 "Missing episode in programme ''Comedy Playhouse''"], lostshows.com</ref><br />
