I'm gay. Have been since I came out in the 1970s. I have a sense of humour and I find this hilarious. Dick Emery is brilliant, and plays the gay Clarence as a confident, no-holds-barred poof. He's streets ahead of Mr Humphries, and the Gay Lib movement might not have approved of him in the 1970s, Clarence has stood the test of time. Bravo Mr Emery!

Fantastic! No doubt somebody somewhere is busy being 'offended' but so what!

That soldier...was he "Roy" in "Some Mothers do 'a've 'em in the episode where Frank goes for the job at the camp site?

all good ! clarence is never the victim, listen to the great man's take on his character always positive in a time that wasn't so....and  "hello honky tonks how are you " is in my vocabulary

[deadbluetit]

absolutely hilarious!! the original Loius Spence!!

I hope the clothes for these characters are still around. Wouldn't it be great if there was an exhibit of them? I think the Victoria and Albert museum had an exhibit of the costumes from a historic series 'The six wives of Henry VIII' . I think Dick Emery's costumes merit the same.
