Trivia
The series was later remade in the United States as What a Country (1986).

Goofs
In the last episode of Series Three, 'What a Tangled Web', Sid the caretaker laments at length that 28 years ago he was married, despite having a whole previous episode ('How's Your Father' from Series Two) about Mr. Brown offering to pay for him to wed his partner after hearing Sid never married her.

Quotes
Jeremy Brown: Su-Lee, spell "Democracy"
Chung Su-Lee: C-H-I-N-A.
Jeremy Brown: And I suppose if I asked you to spell "Dictatorship", you would have spelt "England"?
Chung Su-Lee: Or "America"!

Crazy credits
The series title is drawn by an animated Mr Brown on a blackboard. The intertitles have him write "End of Part One" and "Part Two", and at the start of the closing credits he cleans up the blackboard signifying the end of a class.

Best comedy of the 70's

I use to watch this programme as a kid, it was hilarious. I'll never forget the catchy tune music too. I wish they'd repeat again here in New Zealand. But knowing my luck, the political correctness of TV these days won't show it. Even though they show some vile programmes full of nakedness and profanity, it's hypocritical.
