I always enjoy when Capt. Peacock is asked if he's free.

He always makes a sweeping gesture to look both ways, pause, then say "At the moment."

When I first noticed this(the ceiling look), I thought it was fairly dramatic, when I see it now, I see that it is a bit more sutble than I remembered.

This isn't something that's said, but I always get a good laugh at the "two-finger salute" Mr. Lucas gives to Capt. Peacock several times.. :lol2: :lol2: :lol2:

Miss Brahms mentions "being common" different times. For example: "Are you suggesting I'm common?"
Miss Brahms

Trying to find out if it were indeed a real song, I have yet to find the lyrics for "Rollin' Round The World.." I think it was made up! :lol:

I liked the one line that Humphries and Lucas were trying to get going. The one where Humphries says "Do you mind If I have a word with my friend ???? " It was only said twice, Do you remember the two eppys this line was said in ????? :shrug:

How about the few times this one was used.
Mr. Grace wouldn't go for it because the cost was too high.

I was very nearly late Captain Peacock.

You are late Mr. Lucas.

Then one of Mr. Lucas's famous excuses would follow.

Then there are the times that Captain Peacock wants to have a work with Mr. Grainger..

Mr. Grainger: "Mr. Humphries, will you take over for me while I have a word with Captain Peacock?"
Mr. Humphries: "Of course Mr. Grainger."
Mr. Lucas: "Mr. Humphries, should I take over for you while you are taking over for Mr. Grainger?"

"Drat!"-what Mrs. Slocombe says. No one can deliver that the same as her! She has just the right facial expression and posture delivering that word. :)

I think "I'm Free" and the "Pussy" references are by far the greatest lines that epitomizes AYBS. If you say either most people who know AYBS know exactly which show you're talking about! :)

Several years ago, while sitting with a group of people and discussing several options, I responded to one by saying, "I'm unanimous in that." All of a sudden, two people in the group turned to me and said, "Hey, you watch that show about the lady with pink hair!"
