Deffo has to be Emma Amos as Marie Lloyd in the Red (cleavage enhancing!) dress - in the ep "The Ouses in Between" singing "The Boy I love....."........................and then secondly the last scene in this ep where Emma appears in the shop as Yvonne dressed in exactly the same dress and Gary takes one look and faints!! Hilarious.

The Reg speech in the Spy episode....."I'm sorry, Gary, but losing your penis is no excuse for betraying your Country" or words to that effect. I remember how long it took to shoot that scene so that I could get a take without one of the actors cracking up.  |

I wish I'd been there to see it filmed. |

I like the scene right at the start of the very first episode when Gary, Ron and Yyvonne are having that house party...or what was supposed to be a house party with nobody but them there ;D, mind you with someone like Yyvonne around who would need anyone else eh??  . |

I take it you and Ron share the same ideals... |

I'm sure that Yvonne's friends are in the kitchen even though they are not shown. |

At the moment i have 2 favourites-
1.when Gary walks through Ducketts passage and he's there....in the 40's (the start of a fantastic adventure)
2.In the bank when Gary realises the bank manager is called "Mainwaring", he then sings "Who do you think you are kidding mr Hitler". Pure Comedy!
;D ;D ;D ;D

I'm sure that Yvonne's friends are in the kitchen even though they are not shown. That's right. A theme that developed from there on with Gary being on the outside from the start, Yvonne's friends being the foil to his own overtly simplistic social life. |

Indeed! We never really see Gary with any of Yvonne's friends. Not counting Stella there are only a few examples of it. The party when Gary returns from 'Scotland' and Ron gets caught with Wendy the chubby chaser. And then when Yvonne brings in the councillor.
Not a lot for a married couple!

Almost everything Reg says cracks me up.
For a favourite moment, I really enjoyed the bit where they try to get the jeep out of the garage, the first meeting of Noel Coward always pleases me for some reason (and leading on from that, Noel's gradual realisation and acceptance that Gary is straight), and the bit in the bank with the Dad's Army references.
If I sat down and thought about it a bit more, I'm sure I could find a favourite moment in virtually every episode.

Yep, each episode could well have a favourite moment for me as well. 58 favourite moments could then be whittled down to make a top ten, and then an eventual winner. So all I need now is some time to ponder said conundrum. :-)
Or I could just watch from the beginning again..

the marriage speech makes me laugh, quoting the carpenters. but my favourite by far is the scene in the shop when gary falls asleep on ron talking and then modern day reg comes in with the riot wig on, 'are you alarmed' what are your locks, chubbs?' hes talking to you ron... and whats round the back - ron replies ' 1941-42?' classic

One of my favourites... The intertextuality in the stag night episode where it looks as if Gary is going to do a Del boy and fall through the bar, only to close the gap at the last minute.

So, SO many good moments and qotes.... One of my favourites: S1E5 (I Get Along Without You Very Well) after Ron's failure to go back Gary presents himself at the print shop and says "look I know you've got the hump..." to which Ron replies "The hump?! I've got enough hump to reform the camel corps!" Poor old Ron.

Loads and loads but one springs to mind when Ludo is thinking of changing his name. He decides on Robert for his first name then looks at the jar of Maxwell House coffee and states that the name on the jar would be perfect, giving the impression that he was going to call himself Robert Maxwell.
But did you notice that none of the chacaters mentioned the big ad on the jar, the contest to win a million pounds? Surely, if this was real, then Gary would've noticed it and either removed the ad or got another jar although his explanation for the sell by date was clever.
