My mother used to watch these episodes religiously each week. Then, I got her the entire DVD series. She would sit in the living room for hours, laughing out loud. She must have watched each episode at least a dozen times, but it didn't matter to her. She loved the comedy and the pure zaniness of the series. Just wonderful!

It came to me as not a kinder and gentler view of Germany, which to me is the only safe place in the world for me to go along with Italy who were both "Axis". My focus is the fact that many English rock bands during the 1960's left England for Hamburg because Germany's acid rock hippie culture was growing rampant while "swinging London" was full of bust happy police and then in May 1968, the Apple Boutique was painted over white. There is the book Hamburg: The Cradle Of British Rock by Alan Clayson. That was from Hamburg's very early years before LSD hit there at around 1965. English rock group The Smoke attempted to record their hit single "My Friend Jack" (Eats...Sugarlumps?) and were threatened being banned and their record company terminated...so they were overwhelmed by invites from Hamburg!!

Here in the US prior to the mid 1970s our retail and commercial sector was still mainly downtown in the urban core(high streets as they say in England ) , in small towns called main streets . We had multi floor or stories department stores like this , movie theaters("the pictures") , many locally owned specialty shops, restaurants, pubs, cafes, grocery markets , outdoor vendors, etcetera everything you could imagine , wanted or needed was there . Now our US downtowns and main streets are dead as a doornail , ghost towns . Walmart , big box stores in general, retail and commercial development for the past 20 or so years is around the main thruway exits . There are no sidewalks and its really dangerous to walk from store to store with all that traffic there . This walmartization and multinational franchises have destroyed locally owned businesses and our downtowns and main streets in the US . Its ridiculous you have to drive your car from this place and that . It makes one angry and very sad .

Yes. Globalization has indeed destroyed everything- borders & countries entire identities are being wiped out. That was always the endgame of the Schwabs & Gates & Soros beasts out there - a ONE World Government tyranny. The EU & UN instrumental in this of course. The WEF is self explanatory as is the WHO. The danger of this can't be more apparent than th last 3 years global lockdowns & forcing poverty & government dependency where there wasn't before, mandates under threat, and now they're turning off local and international resources for food, fuels & every other supply we use, AND started are bankrupting taxpayers over a war that could have been avoided but instead is being pushed harder by the WEF UN DAVOS NATO beasts. Meanwhile the only thing in massive numbers they didn't stop in all of these lockdowns & cutoffs was mass invasions of incompatable peoples into countries being forced being forced to support them AND a WWIII possible outcome. Shows like ths were great distractions- all entertainment is - from what's going in big government- even going as far as to joking about WWII. It's funny how no one jokes about Vietman or Afghanistan though. Only WII. And here we are poking the bear with NUKES because our "leaders " are utterly insane.

But later in the series, Humphries and Slocombe became the two most popular. The second was (and the real reason) was money. He had gotten another offer for a part, which payed more.
