Well, Ebbie, I think it does emphasise the difference between what is considered humour in the UK and the USA - nothing to do with men and women. You obviously don't understand the concept of Spoonerisms which have been an important part of UK comedy since the man himself told one of his students that he had "tasted an entire worm and must leave Oxford by the town drain." Rindercella very much carried forward the great pantomime tradition.

Ronnie Barker was a comic genius - not just in his writing but in the faultless delivery, timing and characterisations, which is why he had so many series on UK TV for so many decades. Sadly missed!
