That's what they call an insurance job, kids.
Wow, that's pretty depressing. It's like changing rooms, in reverse.
When the shows credits opened and the letters of Fawlty Towers were always rearranged to spell something else, what was your favourite?
I liked Farty Towels.
I remember getting a clip round the ear from Mum when I read out loud the 'flowery twats' one! I'd never heard of a twat at that stage.

It has not aged well, and I just do not find it funny; contrived, repetitive and very much overrated are what spring to mind.
It's aged perfectly well. I'd take it over anything on our screens today.
It's deliberately contrived. It's farce.
If you want to believe it has aged well and it comforts you, then I am pleased.
