hi just realised who mr rumbold was . , and amazing he's still living so old , how old now? and mr lucas is gone so young rip. was he on thats's life by any chance ? great serties
@Mkskes15 I got into AYBS When I was 11. I have a autographed picture of Mr inman my sister was nice enough to ask for 2 of, she got the hug goodbye when she came to our local PBS station to a meet and greet lunchon with him, they thought she was a teenager so was let in for free.
I feel sorry for the actors that were the fill ins for Grainger. It would be exciting to be taking a chance at playing a role that someone else fitted. It would also be very agrivating knowing you could never fill the shoes 100% while giving all you could. Knowing the previous actor passed away would make it more difficult trying to dedicate your role to him.
I agree in the case of Tebbs as the scripts were already written for Grainger before Arthur Brough died and, apart from the introduction scene in this episode, they were unchanged, so the new actor really was speaking lines meant for another. The characters therefore were identical. Goldberg was the best of the replacements as his episodes were written especially for him, and the writers gave him a different personality. It's a shame Alfie Bass left, as Klein and Grossman were pointless.
the only exception to this hard and fast rule is Mr. Lucas. he tends towards the more american sense of humorr. thus, he is the LEAST funny on this otherwise excellent show
this episode demonstrates the sheer superiority of British humorr over the lowly american dead sense of humore... the people here do not generally derive personal pleasure from the dehumanization of the others... such class and good taste, and all the while making excellent jokes and witty observations. YAY England! WOOO - HOOOO!!!!
around 2:20 you can see them having set problems with the Elevator! LOL Love it! That stuff always happened on good tv and not cover it up. Shows they always shot in one take. True professionals.
At 10:42 the posh lady says to Miss Brahm's something like "how dare you try to imitate me", then continues "you chicken-for-mound-er". What? I can't figure it out. What is she saying?
I was convinced that his medicine would make HIM knock a flower pot down on the queen - or that he would have a spasm and slap the queen when he was greeting her or something. I feel the script writers missed out on a good joke there.
"Mr. Grace! The Queen's here!"
"Bloody hell!"
