I remember about 20 years ago, me and my parents went to see Paul Nicholas in Barnum. It was so bad, we left at the interval!
My father in law bought us surprise tickets to see that very show in Oxford and I agree it was dreadful. My daughter would have been about 6 at the time and enjoyed it, but I had had seen Crawford in the original and just sat constantly making comparisons.

Penny's mother Daphne stole the show for me, her one liners were hilarious.

I remember when Rita, Vince's common mother, dropped in on her unexpectedly, and her reaction was, "If had known you were coming I would have bought some Spam!"
Penny's mother was my favourite too.

She would always refer to Vince as 'thing' or 'thingy'

Quite a few moments or 1-liners came back to me. I remember Dad noticing how Jan could hardly keep a straight face when Penny said she dreamt the police asked her to identify Vince's body. I knew when Penny saw Ann in Vince's diary he would make out it was an abbreviation of Anniversary then phone Ann at the end of the episode.

Although BBC2 has just repeated the final weekly episode from 1984 today, and will commence the 1986 series tomorrow, they seem to have omitted the 1984 Christmas special. Maybe they will repeat it this Christmas?

They will probably skip the specials.

What with a few of these repeats having doubled up, I missed the 1st repeat on Wednesday ie series 3 episode 4. I remember several one-liners through the series. The final one was Vince asking about the registry office wedding in Paris "What was all that about? I only came here to get a work permit"!

I have just spotted a link on Youtube which I shall try later.
