“It’s better than no queen at all…”

👚🧦🧣👒🩲👞⬇️

(Probably) THE best episode of AYBS!(??)

Thank you for your voicemails! Leave yours at 662-PEACOCK!

Mr. Jeff’s club kid days complete with #JNCO jeans. The 1990’s love for all things “liquid”.

A fabric joke that no one got …that we explain!

Mrs. Slocombe is moving but didn’t get the time off from work.

An appropriately timed pussy joke.

The social signaling of a lady removing her earring to speak on the phone.

“I’ve got squatters in me new flat!”. Squatters 101 and their potential return in 2021?

What would “council flats” look like in the States?

Most Americans do not have $44,000 in savings (so most would be eligible for council flats!)

Slocombe is going to store her furniture on the 5th floor and “live” there.

How do you pay for a payphone?

The cool NYC public wifi podiums on the street.

As a kid, Mr. Brandon thought “electric springs” was a bed warming device based on this episode.

American vs. British culture regarding money.

A Mollie Sugden flub! (But she’s so good that you might not have noticed)

Extra long “de-luxe” lashes!

We Love Mr. Harmon.

Motherly-then-sex-crazed, as we get an inside view of the domestic life of Mrs. Slocombe.

Hot water bottles in the UK.

Bed sizes are much more complicated and why are UK beds smaller than in the US?

Mr. Brandon gushes (again) about The Teasmade (which is another signifier of Slocombe’s status in the class structure).

“The week of love” calendar.

Mr. Humphries tries to dissuade Mrs. Slocombe’s advances.

The studio audience loved Mr. Lucas’ butt.

A possible censoring from the original episode on #Britbox?

The “de-sexualification” of gay men on TV (like Mr. Humphries). Jeff and Brandon reminisce (and we love the #CelluloidCloset documentary)

A polari/Northern English pet name, “chicken”?

Brandon loved interior decorating shows when he was 14 (not a big shock) so he loves this episode.
