The Brothers is a British television series, produced and shown by the BBC between 1972 and 1976.
Debuting with the death of road haulage magnate Robert Hammond, the series followed the trials and tribulations of the company and family/families he left behind, with equal shares in Hammond Transport Services left to each of his three sons and to his secretary (who was revealed to have been Hammond’s mistress and the mother of his illegitimate daughter).
After the end of the seventh series in 1976, the show finished. There was no formal cancellation of the show but a further series was never commissioned.
Created by Gerard Glaister and N. J. Crisp, Glaister was also the producer of the series, and fulfilled the same role on Colditz and later Secret Army for the BBC. The Brothers became a highly popular Sunday night favourite with BBC viewers throughout its run
