    I emailed Arthur Bostrom speaking in Crabtree-ese. He actually replied as Crabtree. My name is Mike. He called me Mook.

    Used to watch repeats of 'Allo' Allo growing up. Officer Crabtree was always my favourite. I still have no idea how the actor kept a straight face.

    Crabtree is my hero.
    This show is depressingly funny. An adult shouldn't be in tears, laughing at such puerile humour. But it's the only comedy that forces me to pause because I'm laughing so much.
    But you could never mick this show agoon. This show was a one-shit deal. If someone pooched this to a TV company now they would definitely piss it up.

      I never understood how he could be pissing by the door. The entrance to the café is in a call-de-suck. You would have to deluberately hinge around de door to notice anything stringe going on insuit. But then again, logic not always applause in fiction. Or reality, for that mother.

    This was so hard on the part of both the writers and the actor - first having to write the words, and ensure that during the entire run there aren't any changes. And then the actor has to learn this, and deliver it at a perfect pace. So much credit to Arthur Bostrom, David Croft, Jeremy Lloyd and Paul Adam for creating this brilliant piece of comedy.

    One day I want to see Arthur Bostrom on Richard Osman's House of Games - there's a round where he gives clues which are a group of words where every vowel has been changed, and it mostly sounds like Crabtree. I want to know if Bostrom is unusually good at it, given all of his practice!
