When is the next season of The Rag Trade coming out?
The Rag Trade is listed as an ongoing series with a "Returning Series" production status, but the next episode or season has not yet been given a firm air date in the official schedule. The most recent episode aired on October 20, 1978, so any future release date is likely to fall after that. Looking at previous seasons, gaps between seasons have often been well over a year, so it may take some time before the next season arrives. When the next release does arrive, it is expected to carry the same content rating of PG (GB), which can influence when it airs on different providers and platforms.

overview
What is The Rag Trade about?
The Rag Trade is a British television sitcom broadcast by the BBC between 1961 and 1963 and by LWT between 1977 and 1978. The scripts were by Ronald Wolfe and Ronald Chesney, who later wrote Wild, Wild Women, Meet the Wife and On the Buses. Wild, Wild Women was a period variation of The Rag Trade. The action centred on a small clothing workshop, Fenner Fashions in London. Although run by Harold Fenner and Reg the foreman, the female workers are led by militant shop steward Paddy Fleming, ever ready to strike, with the catchphrase "Everybody out!" Other cast members included Sheila Hancock, Esma Reese Cannon, Wanda Ventham and Barbara Windsor. The Rag Trade was revived by ITV company LWT in 1977, with Jones and Karlin reprising their roles. The 1977 version ran for two series, most of the scripts being based on the BBC episodes from the 1960s, and featured Anna Karen and future EastEnders star Gillian Taylforth as factory workers. The theme tune for the LWT series was written and performed by Lynsey De Paul. It blends comedy elements. The series reflects a distinct GB style and perspective. The story is shaped by its creators, Ronald Chesney and Ronald Wolfe.
