    How do we feel about this RTÉ/Channel 4 co-production of the mid-1980s?

    Highly racist and very twee Irish.

    Or

    Simple good funny that you wouldn't get from TV now-a-days.

    IMO it is a bit like Jeeves and Wooster just set in Ireland.

    I used to enjoy it.

    I dont mind people taking the p;ss out of us but the Irish RM took the biscuit.

    So we are just a bunch of simple peasants.

    Complete rubbish

    I like it. It reminded me of a more simpler time when we were a nation of subservient bootlickers.
    Anyone for a custard pie?

    You can't have been watching that closely if thats your memory of it! Slipper and Flurry Knox usually got one over on Maj. Sinclair Yeates.

    I believe it was originally a book written by 2 Anglo-Irish women. Does that make it even worse?
