Why this doesn't seem to be as highly regarded as other Perry and Croft sitcoms is something I'll never understand, for me it's superb. I never tire of Peggy and her antics, and desire to be a yellowcoat. Like all great comedies it makes you roar with laughter, but also tugs at the heartstrings. A superb ensemble piece, it did lose a bit when Simon Cadell left, although his replacement David Griffin did put in a valiant effort. My favourite characters were always Barry and Yvonne (Come away Barry..), Peggy, Gladys and Ted. I love it. If there were any justice, some clever scriptwriter would write a sitcom for all the remaining Perry and Croft regulars, and bring them back one more time.
