CGiii Comment

It is hard to imagine that this was a hit UK comedy show - it really is that terrible - but, that was way back in the 70s and times have changed.

As a TV show, it was mildly amusing, the shock factor of Mr Humphries' outfits and campness kept it going for too many years.

Some may call it a charming British comedy...but, in reality, it is a puerile, bigoted disaster.

Only for the nostalgic and brain-dead.
