Wonderful cast, very British humour, and none better than Tim Brown-Windsor. We'll miss him. |

One presenter said that in the UK the TV programmers were unsure whether the show should have been on late night TV and not in the afternoons. In Oz, it was on at prime time at 6 pm when the kiddies were most likely to watch it. |
