I love the film... John Alderton is hilarious as the well meaning, hapless Mr Hedges or "Privet" as they call him.

I really enjoy this series, for me it's fantastic. The characters, actors, the setting. It's brilliant. My favourite character is the caretaker Mr Potter, I really enjoy his character and his behaviour. For me it's probably one of the best sitcoms from the 70s. Brilliant. Series 4 was good, but not great, as the cast changes and John Alderton leaving is what killed the series. The movie was very good, probably the best sitcom move there is.
