"Arrange food, entertainment, and a sit-down orgy for 14"--I never noticed that line before and I can't stop laughing

How I love Phil Silvers' line about being part of 'an ancient holy order of lepers'. Just the way everyone freaks out when he says it.

1:09 - "If you would have been born a woman, you would have been she!"

I was expecting more, through my journey of BBC Classic productions, as the current BBC cultural degenrative activism is too insulting to be considered entertainment. However, this production reflected the, at the time, (special people...) influence at the BBC. It's like watching a more in-your-face version of Seinfeld.
