You probably think of me as a bit of a sophisticate and inter bleedin' lectual but I can't help finding this funny in a quintessentially quaint English way.

Reminds me of you at Whitstable rich

(BTW - I never saw one of those programmes. I guess I missed something.)

I thought Rich P lived in Wormington.

I like Hoccifer Drabcree.

Don't tell him your name, Speich

He displays similar Manneringisms...but is a bit of a J Walker

Don't tell him your name, Speich

"I am zer Kapitaine of zer Navy" he said crisply.

One of the funniest sitcoms ever.

I still watch the repeats even though I must have seen every episode at least five times.

It was gentle, well written, and well acted. I never appreciated it much at the time, but I happened to see an episode last year and realised just how funny it could be.
