Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Honda Seller I liked this series. I love British humour.This show is completely silly but hilarious.I knew of a number of the main actors from another series called You Rang M'Lord which is funny too but sadly, youtube only has a few episodes there.I watched the entire Hi de Hi series on youtube which was great.I noticed the writing started to get old in the last few seasons with a lot of repetitive themes. It went especially downhill in the last season which is common with TV series.I was so disappointed that they didn't write a better and more creative ending. Instead, they wrapped it up in a rather hum drum and nonsensical manner.I think a better and more logical happy ending would have been for the rich man who led the camp to somehow have his family take him back into the fold, in spite of his marriage, because they needed him to come and run their farm and amusement park.That way his wife (the Welsh woman who was the best yellow coat around) could have helped run things and the majority of the rest of the staff could have all been given jobs there. This would have been a much better and a very happy and settled ending rather than the half hazard one they wrote.That's my two cents.

TheDreadedNat For me, this programme epitomises everything that was wrong with the BBC in the 1980s. I'm astonished to find that it rates so highly (7.0), although the mere 300 or so ratings it has garnered clearly reflect that only hardcore fans have bothered visiting this page (can't remember exactly how it was that I ended up here). My parents used to watch this tripe (back then we only had the 3 channels to choose from) and I always considered it an especially cruel and unusual form of torture. Despite consisting of only 6 or 7 episodes per series, due to the BBCs seemingly endless cycle of repeats, it seemed to hardly ever be off the air.To give credit where it's due, many of the actors did a reasonable job; the best they could with such appalling, repetitive material. It is to their discredit, however, that only Simon Cadell had the good sense to get out after they won their BAFTA (how on earth did that happen?), having already seen every joke recycled about 25 times over the course of 5 series. The depths to which it plummeted over the remaining 4 series are probably the main reason David Croft had to create 2 more TV series to provide much-needed employment for the 'stars' of this awful show (by this time, we had satellite TV so no-one was forced to suffer through these the way my generation was forced to suffer through the likes of Hi-de-Hi and 'Allo 'Allo).Hi-de-Hi is typical Croft/Perry fare, in that all the characters are severely dated stereotypes, taking part in poorly-conceived and executed farces that could easily have been written by a drunk comprehensive school drama teacher. I didn't think the 1st series was funny when I was 7 years old and I could barely believe they were still making them when I was 15. Amazing, really, that the BBC saw fit to screen this rubbish alongside such gems as The Young Ones (1982) and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (1981). Its 'popularity' (among a largely captive audience) is testament to the fact that, by the cynical use of 'canned laughter', it is possible to convince my parents' generation that practically anything is funny.

welshNick This is a classic example of what happens when a sit com is on TV for far far too long. Everything gets tired and the jokes start getting repeated over and over again. OK, from the start, the first couple of series were quite good. You had an Entertainment Manager (Simon Cadel) being pursued by his deputy played by Ruth Madoc, a cleaning lady wanting to become a yellow coat, an alcoholic child-hating Punch and Judy man, a bent Jockey, and a stand up comedian. As said earlier, it started well but went on way too long. Once Simon Cadel left it went downhill fast, you were getting dire story lines, and a new entertainments manager who Ruth Madoc (again) threw herself at. When a comedy is all filmed in one place there is a limit to the number of jokes that can be cracked. Unfortunately this went on so long every joke was cracked 3 or 4 times over. If this comedy had been stopped after 2 series it would have gone down as an all time classic. As it is, it will be largely remembered for the dreadful last few series.

Dave French When this series first started, I freely admit I was not a fan. On first view, it was not up to their shining glory that is Dads Army. On the other hand, nothing is. I first started to 'got it' with the horse on a horse scene. I laughed and laughed. Since then, it has appeared on repeats and channels like UK Gold. The performance of Simon Cadell is outstanding. Every cast member fits their role like a glove. It grows on one and all I can say is, Well Done Jimmy Perry and David Croft.
