Was she trying to light an electric cooker with a match?

Yes, that's it.

Aas much as I am a fan of Transport and all things connected - AI should have really loved On The Buses, but I never took to it it one little bit

It was so Cheesy and the like and almost a insult to the Transport Industry - but on the plus side it had a fantastic cast at it's varying points in the Series - that was probably equal to the Carry On Films and allmost so too in that it was a farce like them.

If it was made in the 80s/90s or even now - I could see it actualy taking off with actors like Hugh Dennis and ex-soap actors and actress'. To sum up I guess it was a great show but truly "the wrong time, wrong place" in history, sadly as a comedy as interesting as I am sure that it was certainly meant to be by the writers

It's actually on heavy rotation on one of the TV channels - can't recall, either London Live or one of the movie ones...

Thanks, I will keep an eye on the TV schedules. I only saw it once, around 1980, when ITV showed it one afternoon

Reg Varney also played a drag performer in a seldom seen film from 1973 called The Best Pair of Legs in the Business, a bitter-sweet drama set in a seaside holiday camp.

Stan has picked up the wrong washing. Blakey is confronted by the owner and it is full of women's undies. Blakey is arrested for being a knicker-snatcher. One dolly is Wendy Richard.

Brilliant answer. To the letter. Your memory wow.
