Bloomers is a British sitcom starring Richard Beckinsale that aired on BBC2 in 1979. Five episodes of the show were made before Beckinsale died suddenly from a heart attack just before a planned rehearsal for the sixth and final episode of the first series. Bloomers was immediately shelved, though the five completed episodes were broadcast later in the same year.
