'''''Blind Men''''' is a British television sitcom produced by LWT and transmitted on the ITV network between 21 November 1997 and 2 January 1998.
Written by the duo Chris England and Nick Hancock, the series starred Jesse Birdsall and Roger Blake as Phil Carver and Bob as the window blind salesmen and Graham Holdcroft (Jeremy Swift) is a hard-working but not too successful window blinds people. Rival salesmen Tony, Neil and Bob compete with him for sales, encouraged by their young and verbally abusive boss Ian Stapleton. Things go downhill for the team when wonder-salesman Phil Carver is transferred in and the rivalry really intensifies. The show's theme tune was a cover of the ABBA hit single from 1980 called ''The Winner Takes It All''.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.comedy.org.uk/guide/tv/blind_men/ |title=Blind Men – Sitcom – British Comedy Guide |publisher=Comedy.org.uk |date= |accessdate=2021-10-09}}</ref>
