    Vehicles on UK roads MUST pass an annual test that this vehicle would not pass. Therefore it would be only useful as parts... Driving it on the road would be illegal.

    My favorite episode in Season 1 by a long way - next one is pretty good too.
    Keep at it because the later seasons especially between Seasons 4 and 7 as well as the Christmas Trilogy 1996 has some epic episodes. Season 2 and 3 has some real good ones too. Season 1 is a bit slow and not much laughs but like I said, stick at it because you will be rewarded - there is a reason why this sitcom became the best British sitcom for such a long time

      Agreed.
      Season 1 was okay at best.
      Seasons 2-3 were mixed but had some excellent episodes.
      Seasons 4-5 were very good.
      Season 6 was TV gold (with the increase to 50 minutes per episode).
      Season 7 was still very good but down on 6.

    Britons didn't have sexual fantasies, really, in 1981! But as far as portrayals of gays go...that goes back to Radio in the 1960s when Round the Horne had a gay couple - Julian and Sandy - as a main feature. This was when homosexuality was still illegal (daftly). They also used words in Polari - a sort of slang used among the Soho gay set.
    I reckon there's a decent PhD to be made about the presentation of Gay in Britain's media from, say, 1960-1990.

    We called that waiter "camp" and it wasn't a problem, films going all the way back to the 50's had no issues with transvestitism or camp behaviour.
    Look up Dame Edna Everage and Lilly Savage...
    The Carry On films had a popular regular cast who often played with camp humour...

    • @MeganRuth

    This episode aired on the 15th September 1981, you also spoke about homosexuality on tv, well if you have not watched it I would suggest you do a ( multiple) reaction videos to the show “ are you being served? “ which ran from the 8th September 1972 until the 1st April 1985

    £200 back then was £1000 by today's standards. I sold my first car, a Toyota Celica 2003 model for only £700 (sold it a bit cheap but i just wanted it gone).
    When I was growing up, you could easily buy a complete banger for £100, so £25 is the equivalent. imagine buying at £100 and listing it for £900-1000. Who would be dumb enough to buy it?

    Homosexuality was certainly well visible in the media in the early 80's. More sympathetically than in the 60's and 70's but still mainly for comedic effect based on stereotypes. Camp as here - or pseudo-macho "village-people' types.
