The Huggetts are a fictional family who appear in a series of British films which were released in the late 1940s by Gainsborough Pictures.
The films centre on the character of Joe Huggett, played by Jack Warner, the head of a working class London family.
[2] Both Warner and Harrison reprised the roles of Joe and Ethel, but here their family consists of daughter Jane (Marion Collins) and son Bobby (George Howell), rather than the three sisters of the film series.
Warner and Harrison were later reunited in the film Home and Away, about a family in similar circumstances to the Huggetts who win the football pools.
The Huggetts boxset, including all three films and Holiday Camp, was released on Region Two DVD in May 2007 by ITV Studios Home Entertainment.
There was also a separate novelisation of Here Come the Huggetts released in 1948 as part of editor Eric Warman's magazine-paperback Book of the Film series, written by one of his staff novelisers under one of the mandated house pseudonyms, Warwick Mannon; this earlier, shorter novelization coincided with the initial release of the film and follows it very closely.
