TRIVIA (2)
ADD TRIVIA-
It is revealed in this episode that Mr Rumbold recently transferred from the Hardware Department. Captain Peacock spent some time as floorwalker in the Toy Department, but was happy to move to Ladies and Gentlemen's Apparel.
-
Look carefully at the trousers in Mr. Lucas's hands when he says, "I am about to find the 'other' pair of trousers." You can see the "tear" in the trousers before Mr. Lucas puts his knee into it.

QUOTES (5)
ADD QUOTES-
Mr Humphries: (to Mr Lucas) Don't let Peacock see you fraternizing over there. Otherwise, you'll get the rough edge of his tongue, and I can tell you it isn't very pleasant.
-
Mrs Slocombe: Why anyone would want to buy a women's magazine with a centerfold of a nude man is beyond me.
Miss Brahms: Well, I thought Burt Reynolds looked quite sexy.
Mrs Slocombe: Well, you couldn't see anything; his arm was in the way.
-
Captain Peacock: Mr. Grainger, did you write this note?
Mr. Grainger: Write it? I don't even understand it!
Mr Humphries: Certainly not, Mr Grainger wouldn't have said "Sexy Knickers", he would have said "Sexy Bloomers".
Captain Peacock: Did you write the note, Mr Humphries?
Mr Humphries: No, but thanks for the compliment.
-
Peacock: How are the sales going Mrs. Slocombe? Slocombe: Well in lingerie, pants are up and bras are down.
-
Lucas: (To a customer who complains about tightness in his pants) They vary in size, too. The trousers, I mean.
