My dad and I loved this show. We'd watch it every night on PBS at 7/7:30. I remember makimg bets with him just before an episode started - what color hair will we see on Mrs. Slocombe?

My dad eventually got the entire series on DVD. He loaned it to me in the earlier days of the pandemic. He passed away this August and it's nice to see these episodes and remember all of our inside jokes. Thank you for sharing!
