[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 32895, member: 27"] I've got to say I have a soft spot in my heart for Bonnie Langford's "Mel". Her OTT hair, wardrobe, and screaming...loved it. It's enjoyable when you feel you are in on the joke. It was likely someone at BBC who decided that the characters had to dress that way because they needed to stand out against all those gray and tan boulders in the quarry. A personal favorite of mine (not set in the quarry) from that era was "Paradise Towers", where Daisy from [I]Keeping Up Appearances[/I] and her roommate tried to have Mel for dinner (and not as a guest), and Tom Good from [I]The Good Life [/I]was a sort of demon-possessed Basil Fawlty controlling the place.
