About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want classic British farce with nonstop misunderstandings, big tempers, and highly quotable moments; Not for you if outdated stereotypes or cringe-heavy comedy put you off, even if you like Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Pros: escalating farce; sharp, quotable humor; endlessly rewatchable | Cons: some jokes aged poorly; stereotypes and racist dialogue; uneven early episodes
