[@starlight76able]

I lived in The Avenue for eight months in 2007 to June 08 lovely area was in a lovely bedsit really liked the area very much

Margo: "Jerry! What are we going to do?" Jerry: "Could have dinner....." Rest in peace, Paul. Thank you for leaving such a wonderful legacy.

[@getin3949]

What about Richard? He acted until he was well into his 80's "Monarch of the Glen."

[@synthonaplinth5980]

@@getin3949 Oh, no disrespect intended to Richard Briers. I believe that he and Paul were in a stage play together shortly before Paul's passing.

@mrsoctagoneapus Ahhh, good call! 'The Wind-Break War' is one of my favourite episodes! That scene where they are looking for the dishwaher and Jerry talking about Barbara 'bringing out the beast' in him never fail to make me crack up!

[@TheQueenRulesAll]

Thanks for this one, I hadn't been able to find it.

[@Coolwhipstrawberries]

I like the one when they get drunk and start looking for the dish washer XD LOL i'm cracking up just thinking about it when i started watching it i looked liked this :( after XD

[@Grania52]

"If it had been me, I could have understood." Me too, Jerry 😘

[@johnnielawson]

Wonderful.

[@daisyviluck7932]

Lol the hippie college students being all Earnest and stuff

[@blackiemittens]

I'd fight Ruth for Tom in this episode myself! The temptation of keeping safe in the status quo and comfort zone is natural when different viewpoints get afraid of each other but his 'practice what I preach' is spot on. Barbara looked a little concerned there, but he quickly remembered himself and put the brakes on. Communication's key for people with differences, but that springs from sound self esteem. Something Margo for all her funny posturing, didn't always have. Gotta love 'em though.

[@sandratogneri9982]

They are so Funny XXX

[@Lytton333]

Duncan Sandys was a very handsome chap when he was young. Very James Bond-ish. Barbara is laughing in ignorance.

[@MsFullheart]

love richard briers,the cast are all good!

[@paulhunter123]

wow when young people could afford a house unbelievable today

[@agold2125]

Thanks, but being out of order and missing episodes makes it less satisfying.

[@Ingens_Scherz]

You're dead right in every way, of course. But please don't spoil it!

[@shaelo20]

Hahaha the comments are nearly as funny as the show!!!!!!!shoot lighten up....barbara is just like my ex mother in law and she thought the show was funny

[@Ingens_Scherz]

"averse" And you are almost completely wrong. The idea that 'such elitism must have been pronounced...' etc is ridiculous. The hoots of laughter that greet the reaction of quaint, pre-war, uber-snob, ('WASP' you say - inappropriate term) parody, Margot to the names of the new occupiers Tom makes up, is a sign of the sophistication of the audience: exactly not evidence of some outdated attitudes about racial/social integration in Britain. Suggesting otherwise, as you have, is quite insulting.

[@TheCattnap]

You sound just like Guy. Let's talk the episode through.

[@dharmaseed]

@revolverpup They probably would if they had a chance, although Margo would have to be pretty sozzled to swing with Tom, don'tcha think?

[@dloverise]

Yep, that the undertone of the whole show...and i think most people at the time knew it....funny though i had never pegged margo as a racist

[@ifunanya24]

U may be right. To be frank, British mentality to immigrants/migrants hasnt changed much. I know of an area (indeed areas) in Britain that was once predominantly white English, but as those racist white British people MOVE OUT as soon as they see a foreigner MOVE IN, that vacant house occuppies with another foreigner, and so on and so on until the area is mostly foreigners. Well.*cough ...plenty Margots about nowadays!

[@Antpeople1]

That is what must have happened in Bucks where I was born. It is an affluent area but hardly any white people. It is like the Old Kent Road. I won't name a specific Ethnic Group but the way I was stared at was as if I was the Foreigner! I felt VERY uncomfortable. One time a very large intimidating man looking like Mr. T, gave me a load of verbal abuse. He had a small boy, whom I felt sorry for. I have been in and out of Europe to extremely poor areas, some where there is a lot of poverty but never felt scared, unlike in my own country!

[@paulhunter123]

margo 1 to 10000000000000 foreigners today we live as they did in the 70s and everyone walking passed the house is speaking foreign language
