Haha!
It is hilarious. Was and is.
I never saw it when it was new. So it's always been old to me. And very funny.

Obviously there's nora lora laughs in your house!
Not at that sort of feeble attempt at humour, no.

You sure you're on the right forum ?
Are you sure you are? Awopbopaloobopawopbamboom.
Surely the saddest sight in comedy is the opening credits to Clone.
Reminds me of a photo I took when I visited BBC props, of Doctor Who's TARDIS in a state of disrepair that could reduce Who nerds to a nervous breakdown.
I find the whole Dr Who thing a bit worrying, similar to the way I feel about grown ups raving on about Harry Potter... It is supposed to be for children? Yes? ...Or for some other purpose?
The Dr Whos I grew up with had their place, nothing murky about who they were aimed at.
These are aimed at children but I still like eating them. 
Mmmmmm, party rings

Think some people really know what funny is.

Sorry but it's obvious you just can't handle anything that is not completely adult and serious. In that case, comedy might not be your bag entirely. Accepting things as being a bit tongue in cheek is pretty much required.
Shame they had to demolish it... was it unsafe? Surely they had no reason to otherwise, must have brought in a killing in tourist dollars if handled properly.
It's a very you-have-to-know-where-it-is-to-find-it location, not really close to anywhere else of any interest, so would have been a huge struggle to make any profit from running it as any kind of attraction. As I understand it, after the original country club closed, a nightclub and restaurant opened in the building. The fire was believed to be an insurance job, and quite clearly left the building as unsafe. It was snapped up by developers who put houses on the site. Making far more in one go than any rebuilding would have brought in.
