Basil assumes he wants to go to the chemist's (pharmacy in American English) to buy a condom. Late night trips to the chemist's for that purpose are a bit of a trope in British media,the first other example I can think of being The Spy Who Loved Me (novel,not film).
@kayrahtaechoppa Yes- that makes sense - but I agree with arlichar1 because I did once rent a house that had steps outside in an arrangement like that! Really inconvenient- especially when I had a bad back!!
hahaha, china is like this. outside of beijing no hotel will give double rooms to couples who aren't married. they scan your passport as well, just to be bastards
@arlichar11 I think it might be to hide something. I know a lot of BBC productions have a habit of using props to mask production errors and obstructions. A pile of hay was used to hide a car in a 1860s set episode of Dr Who once.
@arlichar11 So I'm not the only one who thinks that then?/ Ha! HA! I agree with you- i think if you'd worked there that little "eccentricity" would have driven you nuts- maybe that explains Basil??
Actually laugh out loud to this. British comedy in its prime

O.M.G, sybille is the biggest hypocrit ever. she's criticizing basil for flirting with mrs. penoit, and she's flirting with that bloke at the bar.
