Scrolling though channels I came across an old episode and surprisingly found myself laughing out loud. There was one scene that made me pebble dash the screen when they had a robotic model of a pair of legs advertising stockings opening and closing and another model advertising hats going up and down saying 'I like it I like it'- it was hilarious.

Just found it on youtube - its the third one in

These naff shows have a beauty of their own. Also watch Hi-De-Hi. May God have mercy on my soul.
Well, if we're confessing our sitcom sins, I'm partial to a little 'Allo 'Allo.

I can't really remember watching it first time round, was probably out on the razz when it was on. It was very cleverly done.
I'm partial to all three
David Croft wrote all three sitcoms. Fabulous writer
I am watching every one of AYBS as they are repeated every night on the Drama channel.

You see John Inman without his toupe for the first few episodes, and how the wonderful 'I'm Free' is gradually exagerated into the catch-phrase he carried for life.

I watched every single episode of Hi-De-Hi when they re-ran those, but I have never liked 'Allo 'Allo at all.

John Inman said that never a day went by when someone didn;t shout the phrase at him in the street, but he was gracious enough to accept that it brought him his ongoing career, and he apprarently never objected (out loud at least!)

I also realise how good-looking Wedy Richard was as a young woman.
Not to mention Mrs Slocomb's pussy :-)
I used to watch AYBS as a kid with my parents. Never understood the innuendo bits until a lot later.

My fave sitcom was Keeping Up Appearances.
They were clever because the situations are timeless.
May of the Croft and Perry comedies were set in the past when they were new.
Slapstick and innuendo never go out of date.

‘Allo ‘Allo was my favourite too.
