1 | %% Administrivia/ZeroContextExample * CrossesTheLineTwice: Filthy with his "stage school" and "children's catalogue." |
2 | * HarsherInHindsight: |
3 | ** [[spoiler:In the finale, Ralph explains that he survived being hanged because "I've gotta be in the next series." The show would sadly never get a second series.]] |
4 | ** [[spoiler:Also from the finale, the main characters are blackmailing everyone in showbiz with slander. One such lie is that the ''Series/GrangeHill'' kids are the love children of Creator/JimmySavile and Nana Mouskouri. That is all kinds of wrong right there.]] |
5 | * HoYay: |
6 | ** The BedMateReveal between Richie and Eddie in the very first scene. |
7 | ** The scene where Eddie is looking under Richie’s dressing gown to see if he can see anything unpleasant looks ''a lot'' like something else. |
8 | ** Filthy tries to schmooze Radio/TerryWogan over the phone by describing his "little looks-to-camera" as "very sexy." |
9 | ** Filthy seems to be ''pretty'' into Richie, particularly with the way he touches him and gets very close to him. |
10 | ** [[AffectionateNickname Richie calling Eddie, "Eddie poppet"]] in one episode. |
11 | *** He also calls him [[AffectionateNickname "darling"]] a few times. |
12 | ** The scene where Eddie jumps onto Richie’s back, expecting a piggyback ride. |
13 | * RetroactiveRecognition: |
14 | ** Several in Episode Two. A young Creator/HarryEnfield plays Julian (the beleaguered floor manager of ''Ooer Sounds a Bit Rude''), with Creator/ChrisBarrie as Trevor (the pencil-snapping director). Later in the same episode, Creator/DavidBaddiel appears as a dimwitted art collector. |
15 | ** Freddy Gorgeous from "A Death in the Family" is played by Creator/PerryBenson, who would later be best known for playing Henry Livingstone in ''Series/YouRangMLord''. |
16 | * SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: Eddie calling Jumbo Whiffy a "complacent, misogynistic bumsplat." |
17 | * UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The series is jam-packed with references to 1980s popular culture. For example, Episode Two's plotline features Richie being blackmailed by the Nolan Sisters. |
18 | * ValuesResonance: The skewing of celebrity culture has become more relevant in the intervening years. |
19 | * VindicatedByHistory: It was cancelled after one series and wasn't repeated for years, but it has been rediscovered as a CultClassic and its satire has become more relevant. |
