JPennant: Like this:
JPennant: Let me explain the order of things to you. There's the aristocracy, the upper class, the middle class, working class, dumb animals, waiters, creeping things, head lice, people who eat packet soup, then you.
gabz: LOL
gabz: that's awesome
JPennant: Somebody bring me a knife, very long and razor sharp. I need to castrate the person who made this sauce and I don't want to cause any unecessary suffering. I'm not a vindictive man, I'm not out to cause pain, but with this man's DNA in the gene pool, humanity is doomed.
gabz: wow
gabz: very much like the dude on Hell's Kitchen
gabz: lol
JPennant: Its alot like Hell's Kitchen too, the kitchen scenes are realistic
JPennant: Please remove the maggots, rat carcasses, and corpses of shocked health inspectors and make the place fit for the preparation of sodding food!

JPennant: But the most famous quote from that show is what happens when a diner asks for salt to put on his food. :-)
JPennant: Here is the script for that scene:

Good Neighbors: The Complete Series 1-3

- This is a series that I have such a tremendous amount of good feeling for that it's just not possible to put into words. The cast is superb, not a person out of place. Paul Eddington and Penelope Keith are perfect as the snobbish Leadbetters - but then they always were weren't they, two of Britain's top comedic talents. In the lead role of Tom Good is Richard Biers, with the tasty Felicity Kendall (and her bottom) as his wife Barbara. (That bit about Felicity Kendall's bottom refers to a joke from an episode of Spitting Image where someone describes something being as soft as Felicity Kendall's bottom. I'm pretty sure it was meant as a compliment.) A wonderful series.

At the same time I spotted the Chef listing, I found other Britcom enthusiasts had also bought the "Good Neighbors" DVD.

*gasp*

It was JUST released a few days ago.

I cant believe they released that 70's show. I used to watch it as a kid in jamaica, and on the PBS station in Chicago.

On his 40th Birthday Tom Good (Briars) decides he has had enough of the rat race in middle class Surbiton and embarks on a life of self-sufficiency. Beside him was Barbara Good (Kendall) his wife, who is faultless, devoted and loyal who has had to go without all her creature comforts in order to support her husband. However Barbara didn?t mind this sacrifice because she simply adored Tom. Together they forged ahead with their plans to grow their own crops, keep livestock in the garden and make their own electricity from cow dung!

Its a gentle show. Not so much ha-ha funny.. but appealing, particularly the female leads - Felicity Kendall and Penelope Keith.

Man, along with most men in the British Empire, I had a muy grande crush on Felicity Kendall. The kinda woman I hoped Id grow up and marry. :)

Felicity Kendal was every mans fantasy wife and she won the hearts of many men across the nation with her petite innocence and mousey features. Quite rightly, she won the Rear of the Year award in 1981.

Unfortunately, I grew up and found out they dont make women like that anymore. If they ever did.

Oh well, at least now I have the DVD's.
