My all time favorite British TV Comedy. This is one of my favorite episodes. It never gets stale. I got my husband who was terminal with ESRD End stage renal disease, to watch the whole series on video, when he was up to watching it, Usually after dinner. He wasn't familiar with it. Dialysis can be very draining physically and emotionally and painful. Laughter was good medicine for him.. And me too. This series, Monte Python re-runs, Faulty Towers any movie with John Cleese or Michael Palin in it kept Him laughing at least for an hr. or two in the evening. Comedy can help heal.

[@edyann]

I'm sorry- I know the pain. My father succumbed to diabetes and he also had to have dialysis 3 times a week. Yes, laughter can heal at least for a moment... Hope you're doing well.

He really didn't though. He lives with his mother in a 2-bedroom home and told her that they didn't have a spare bed for her to sleep in. So if she wanted to stay at his place they'd have to share his bed and "snuggle up" together, which obviously she wouldn't do. So, Mr. Lucas actually didn't offer her a place to stay but he had a legitimate reason why since there's no room for her

This is a clever episode. None of these "friends" are willing to help her out. Then she ends up helping them all out. 🙄 So like life.

Mrs. Slocombe was definitely not a mean old bag like they tried to make her out to be and I think this episode proves it.

I heard about the woman writer who came up with this double entendre, and she said: “ it’s the viewer’s fault if he/she makes more out of that word, instead of it referring to Mrs Slocomb’s kitty”. There was no political correctness BS then, just comedy and everything was just fine and nobody was insulted to perpetuity.

I fell in love with this show when I was in elementary school! I loved John inman. Are You Being Served and Keeping up with appearances were my top favs and Mr Bean ofcourse! As an adult I discovered Hetty Wainthrop. I absolutely love British sitcoms, most american sitcoms are based on them anyway (:

It's incredible that no one who calls themselves her friends can't be bothered to offer her a place to sleep for one night, except Mr. Lucas. But when everyone's stranded, she's the one who takes them in.
