happysouth Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 I never understood how the guy in the middle of the picture was some sort of babe magnet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waspy Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 I quite like it. Who was the arsenal player that appeared in an episode about the depot football team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Satans_Husband Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 As a kid I found this family viewing quite entertaining, now I regard it as unfunny and fairly repugnant. The woman that plays Olive (and ended up in Eastenders as well I think) used to be a stripper many, many years ago. I remember the amusement and horror of myself and my school friends when we discovered photos of her in some celebrity skin mag. I'm sure the photos will be online if that sort of thing floats your boat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loondave1 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 It seemed funny when i was wee but it's dreadful. Bob with the teeth topped himself and Stan aka Reg Varney was the first person to use a cash machine if you like trivia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glenconner Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 From the days of watch or don't watch. Watched it recently and thought that was even worse than it was in 1970. In fact it was a lot worse. True though about bus garages. Most of the drivers ending up marrying young clippies who turned out to be complete dragons in later years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loondave1 Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 The thing i find most striking is how Arthur says things to Olive like "Why don't you shut your face you stupid fat cow" and that's it ! There is no word play or joke just Arthur abusing Olive and that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melanius Mullarkey Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Bizarrely my bairn seems to like this (she’s 8). She spotted a box set somewhere before Christmas and it was on her Santa list, the weirdo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmouth Strikes Again Posted April 5, 2018 Share Posted April 5, 2018 Its a childs programme basically, although the misery going on with Arfur and Olive is quite funny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flybhoy Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 It hasnt aged well, the lead male characters come across as, at best sleazy pigs or at worse, borderline sex pests. And it wasnt remotely funny either, utter shite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
