Hi-de-Hi.

[Leekbrookgull]

Never really watched any of it on first showing,and from what i know first shown around 1981/2 ? However it,s now back on BBC2 and have to to say so funny dry innuendo humour ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DjK6sxNgx_g

 

[Superphil]

One of my all time favourites

 

[Beach Hut]

The original cast were superb but when old Partridge the kids entertainer and the original Geoffry Fairbrother left it was never quite so funny.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

One of my favourite Croft/Perry creations.
They had the ability to not only make you laugh but actually be there as well, it would have been just like a holiday camp in the 50's.
As Beach Hut said, Fairbrother and the child hating Punch & Judy man Partridge were my favourite characters.
I was visiting a friend on a caravan park in Cornwall a few years ago and Paul McShane was there with his wife, he looked awful but we had a chat about Hi De Hi, told him how much i liked it, he was a nice bloke. He died a few weeks later.

Did you remember You Rang M'Lord?

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

The OP has clearly got to the age.

Carry on films are a must too.

What was the one set in Brighton called?

I didn't but even that is better

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Absolute rubbish

Why, because it didn't have Joyce Grenfell or Arthur Askey in it.

At your Convienience ?

I LOVE Allo Allo - not by any means sophisticated humour, but bloody funny in my view at least.

Agreed but went on too long.

Carry on at Your Convenience.

Though Carry on Girls was also shot here, they used Clarges Hotel for the hotel scenes as Dora Bryan was friends of the producers (Convenience also was partially shot at Clarges).

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

At your Convienience ?

Not sure but it was a good watch

 

[Frutos]

Agreed but went on too long.

True, it could have ended at least one series earlier but it was still good harmless fun.

The Gateau From The Chateau was probably my favourite episode, but there were so many funny bits all through the run.

Same cast and same jokes repeated ad nauseum with a different set weren't they ?
