'The Dustbinmen' is a British television sitcom made by Granada Television for ITV, which starred Bryan Pringle, Trevor Bannister, Graham Haberfield and Tim Wylton. All three series ran between 1969 and 1970.

Cheese and Egg, Heavy Breathing, Winston Platt and Eric were the crew of dustcart 'Thunderbird 3' of the Corporation Cleansing Department, the name obviously being an ironic reference to the spacecraft in Thunderbirds. Also known as 'Number 3 Gang', throughout the day they collect dustbins and treat each other, or anyone else, with rudeness and disdain. Cheese and Egg, whose real name was C. E. Petty, is a fervent communist and the natural-born leader of the gang; with his knowledge, the gang can escape sticky situations if they are lucky. Heavy Breathing, "the one with the good looks", is obliged to spend much of his time pleasuring housewives, something he finds quite annoying when he would prefer to be resting. Winston Platt, a die-hard fan of Manchester City, viewed player Colin Bell as a god.
