Was one of the very best comedy shows on TV. Loved watching the antics they got up to weekly, and great characters as well. RIP to the ones we have lost, and well done for what you gave us to those still with us!

Carol Hawkins also did some lovely work in 1970s Carry-on Films. She is now a retired Spiritualist Medium. I had no idea who Malcolm McFee was back in the 1980s/90s when I worked for RAS Call Centre in North Acton . but he did a very good job as Supervisor there. He is also the subject of Morrisey's wonderful little song 'Little man, what now?"

Penny Wheeler / Jill Kerman was not a classmate, she was Bernard's love interest and only appeared in the film of the same name. Mr Smith was not a caretaker he was a teacher. Peter Ceall played Eric Duffy and was one of the main characters. Only 5/10 for accuracy.
