My only reservation about the series, which I may have mentioned before is the character of Squadron Leader Clive Dempster - maybe it was the too bigger boots to fill, but I could never shine to him. The he and Gladys situation was nowhere near the hilarious ones with Mr. Fairbrother.

Marvellous! He was so absolutely fantastic in that part.
I wholeheartedly agree, I couldn't bear the way Clive sponged off of his staff, left, right and centre. Add to that his constant perving over the female Yellowcoats, then you've created and out and out cad. I did wonder whether he was having a secret thing with Sylvia?
Jeffrey was a better character, very much in the traditional sitcom mould of 'terrified, sexually repressed academic.' My favourite scenes with him had to be how he read out Joe Maplin's regular illiterate epistles - pure comedy gold.

Then he went to live next door to Hyacinth. That clipped his wings a bit ![:)](https://cdn.comedy.co.uk/images/emoticons/smile.gif)

KUA was a year or so later than HDH wasn't it? The character of Emmet only featured from S2 onwards as I recall?
