<p dir="auto">Season 1, episode 3  Frank's across the street at the screenwriter's house (whom he's already driven to tears) and delivers this completely nonsensical soliloquy about borrowing a ladder to sneak back into his house after locking himself out.  You have to picture him giving those uncomfortable, quivering pauses between each sentence and clause:<br />
"She's a bit upset, see, 'cause her mother's there and we've had a bit of trouble  about her husband's python.  It was the same when he had his monkeys in the greenhouse.  I don't know what they used to get up to in there, but we never had a single cucumber.   And all my tomatoes went blue.  So, can I borrow your ladder?"<br />
I almost choked I was laughing so hard!</p>

<p dir="auto">My favourites include when he is greeted by the heavily pregnant couple in the Pregnancy Class, and they say they remember him from the Family Planning Clinic. "Oh," says Frank. "How did you get on?"<br />
and later that same scene when the doctor is goading him,<br />
"When you were a baby you had a soft spot, didn't you?"<br />
"I was very fond of treacle pudding."<br />
Or when he is with Fulton Mackay in the RAF Aptitude Test, and Fulton is writing his name.<br />
"Fra-a-a-nk."<br />
"Yes, Herbert?"<br />
But often the great lines are from other people, like when Dr Smedley tells Betty she is pregnant.<br />
"There's no doubt at all, Mrs Spencer. These tests show you are pregnant"<br />
"Oh my goodness.I can't believe it!"<br />
"I can hardly believe it myself!!"<br />
Or James Cossins giving the lecture to the class at the Motivation Weekend: "I've got a little word in mind. It begins with F!" Frank's face at this point is a pure joy to watch.<br />
And then - this one might sound strange - but I will always remember watching the closing credits of an episode, and the BBC voiceover said, "Don't forget to tune in next week at the same time, when Frank tries his hand at hang-gliding with less than successful results." It was just such a brilliant description of the show it had my whole family in stitches! :))))<br />
But the best moment of all is not even a line. It's visual. Richard Wilson is surveying their home as they try to sell their furniture. Frank invites him to sit down so they can discuss a deal, and RW sits on a sofa chair which sinks down to floor level. The audience is in stitches - and so are all the actors. You can see them all trying not to laugh. Today that scene would have been cut as unprofessional. Thank God they left it in then, it is impossible not to laugh.<br />
Great show - thankyou Frank and everyone involved.</p>
