No singer apart from Sinatra has ever been able to act. ###

She sang in alot of her films though. So wasn't really acting.
I think.
Never actually seen any of her films, I'm just blagging it.
And failing.

Dean Martin? He was amazing in "Rio Bravo".
Well, that's that. A fairly nice - if not a bit odd - low key ending, as promised. Some really good (mainly visual) gags tonight though; highlights for me being the police at the end and the accident with the tripod.
A real pity that they couldn't get Thornton and Sallis out to location for the group scenes though. Really disappointing how they've been under-used of late.
Whatever happened to Ivy? A final trip to the cafe would surely have been in order.

Well they were too expensive to insure for outdoor scenes as they're over 80 but that argument doesn't work as Robert Fyfe is over 80 and he was in the location scenes

I think that it becomes more difficult to insure them the older they get, rather than a fixed cut-off point.* Besides, Robert Fyfe is four years younger than Messrs Sallis and Thornton, who have only been confined to barracks for the last two series, if I remember correctly - presumably, had it continued another couple of years, Mr Fyfe would have had to remain indoors as well.
*I'm happy to be corrected on this point if anyone knows for certain, though.
Should have ben axed many, many years ago.
It's not been funny for ages.
Watched it tonight.
Lovely bus.
The bus was very cool.

Playing the town drunk was hardly a stretch!
The whole of Series 31 was so bad you could have condensed all the good bits into 1 episode, even then you would struggle.
Thank God it's over.

This show was about as funny as finding a dead mouse in a loaf of bread. So painfully bloody dull that it made the Antiques Roadshow that night look like Die Hard.
