Episode 58: “The Sweet Smell of Success”. - a podcast by Jeff & Brandon

“Do you think this will carry to a rooftop in Kensington”? Thank you to the #Unanimous fans for all your feedback and tips! Madame-Con is coming up on July 17th! Come record a LIVE recording for “The Hold Up” episode with us! We’re bring the Mr. Rumbold ashtray original AYBS prop too! Welcome Season 9: the show jumped from 1981 to 1983 with this new season. Cockney rhyming slang: “an Irish” = Irish jig = wig = toupee! We meet Candy Davis, Miss Belfridge: a “Page 3 girl” turned actress. Mr. Humphries’ entrance on the stage via a painter’s lift outside the building. Which floor is the Ladies and Gentlemen’s Department located on exactly? Was Season 9’s rating falling so the writers try to make episodes as Humphries-centric as possible? 1983: 11% unemployment in the UK and height of Thatcherism. Check out Matt Baume’s fantastic, insightful LGBT-themed Youtube channel (and future guest host??). “The Gay Deceivers” from 1969: check it out and watch one of the first openly gay actors portray an openly gay role! Mrs. Slocombe confirms Capt. Peacock had quite a reputation… or used to. “Adam and Eve”: the Slocombe scent to attract the opposite sex. A Benidorm reference, which is also one of our favorite UK comedies too (with an AYBS guest star). White linen suits were quite the rage in the 70s. A roof terrace penthouse in Kensington? Yes please. What is “4711”? The original “cologne” from Cologne, Germany made with the original formula since 1799. Why was “unisex” so titilating in the 70/80s? Super rigid adherence to gendered aspects of life. Capt. Peacock in a mad-cap scene in Rumbold’s office. Lost pants, confusion, and jealous wives. Slocombe and Humphries both dash off to find a man with a roof terrace in Kensington!
