As far as I could see, it was a rip-off of The Pallisers/Upstairs Downstairs with modern production values.

 

The Pallisers was serious drama superbly done on a scale we simply don't see these days - 26 50-minute episodes. As far as I can recall, there was no "downstairs" element, at least not in the sense of sub-plots featuring servants.

It helped that it was based on a series of pretty good novels.

There are some Rivet Counters here that would argue about what kind of microscopes are acceptable!

A perfectly reasonable and rational discussion. The principal factor over which cud should be chewed is the relationship between magnification, resolving power of the microscope and the scale and size of the rivets.

Our local Chemist was burgled by two men who nicked all the Viagra.

Police are on the lookout for the 2 hardened criminals.

 

My wife walked out of the shower and winked at me and said, "I shaved myself down there. Do you know what that means?"

I said, "Yes, it means the drain is blocked again."

Seeing catapults reminds me of a line in 'The Clitheroe Kid'

 

"Help! I'm being chased by girls with catapults."

"Girls with catapults? Are you sure?"

"Yes, one of them, said 'Wait for me! My elastic's snapped!'"
