on this site i have often lambast the american for not know how to write comedy and but and while they have never produce anything of the quality of fawlty tower and blackadder or the fall and rise of reginald perrin and they have also never ( to my knowledge ) make anything as bad a this represent the nadir of british comedy . on my richter scale of comic awfulness and it rate only behind the truly execrable be you be serve a the bad comedy show in the english language and with bad act and annoy character and humour that i would grow out of before i leave primary school . unfortunately and it be part of a large crop of show back then and along with dad army and it ain not half hot mum and allo and allo that rely on ridiculous situation and familiar catch phrase to keep audience amuse . michael crawford prove later on that he a talented performer and but personally and i would rather be sentence to a month of watch rhoda than endure a single episode of this drivel and which make me ashamed to be british .
