One the greatest TV theme tunes ever. Wasn't even born when this aired. But watched repeats of it and love it. Rip Jean Boht

A good comedy series with that certain appealing cosy atmosphere I remember watching it whilst growing up , they have started showing re-runs on uk Drama on freeview. Oh to bring back those 1980s enjoyable days of TV.

There's actually people like her at most Job Centres, trust me, I was on the JSA for a year from 1998 to 1999, till I eventually got fed up of being chuffed about and told them to kiss my arse. Seriously they do get fed up of the job and serving people who clearly have no intention of ever working, they're just going through the motions to keep getting their money.

[@apnoakes]

NEXT!!!!!

[@peterainsworth8026]

Very telling your comment is so well liked. Confirms my theory that most of the English population were looking down on the Boswells and by extension Liverpool too, whom they imagined the whole city was like.
