To me this series of shows has always shown the best that comedy can produce when you are clever enough to work around 'what is allowed" without being obvious and in your face.
It was very topical for the times, the early 1980's, it was daft but then equally it was very deft. It is politically incorrect in 2007 but politically insightful in the early 1980's, it judged sarcasm and critique on one hand with good old fashionend humour and innocent fun on the other hand. It poked fun and was a great analysis of the times that also has things that are still relevant today.
Thanks to Youtube some of the moments I found funny then and still find funny today. If you are not at least 35 and from the UK you may want to turn away now ?
