'I didn't know you cared'

My mother on a regular basis!

But since she's yet to have her own sit com, was it Uncle Stavely in I Didn't Know You Cared?
I can't remember his name either but wasn't he with Hilda Baker?
the programme was "I didn't know you cared" by Peter Tinniswood, and the character who said your phrase was Uncle Staveley.
It was called - I didnt know you cared
I will send you a link if I can find it

Thanks to all for answers and very fast response. Have checked out the youtube link, but not sure it is the programme I was thinking of, as watched the sketch but never heard the phrase in question. Was good to watch though. Ah, they don't make 'em like that anymore!!
My favourite 'joke' in IDKYC was in the first episode when they were burying Uncle Mort's wife. Mort bends down and runs some of the soil from the grave through his fingers. John Comers character (can't remember the name) says to Mort "Thinking of happy memories". Mort: "No, I was just thinking, you could grow champion onions in this soil". Set the tone for a great series.
I'm sure it was also used in Nearest And Dearest starring Jimmy Jewel and Hylda Baker and set in a pickle factory in Lancashire.
Has he been?

He's been, yer know.

Loved Nearest and Dearest.

Thanks to all. Yes, I too loved Nearest and Dearest Ethel. Glad this little thread sparked some happy memories of good old fashioned British TV
I heard that - pardon was in the episode called the Night Before. The You Tube clip someone posted for you is another episode, but if you look at the list to the right of it the Night Before episode is there - he says it right at the end of the clip!
