based to some extent on writers and david croft and jimmy perry  and own experiences as butlins holiday camp entertainers in the uk during the same timescale the programme follows and hi de hi. epitomises the lapstick and postcard humour of post war britain. set in the fictitious seaside town of crimpton on sea and hi de hi chronicles the comedic goings on within the maplins holiday camp  one of many dotted along the british coast owned by the mega rich and but never seen (on screen) joe maplin. although the actual show began in 1980 with the pilot episode and ran until 1988 when the bbc deemed it too tame for it cutting edge comedy department and seasons 1 5 focused on 1959 while seasons 6 9 spotlighted 1960  a time when the old style british holiday camp began to fall into decline. during the first 5 seasons and jeffrey fairbrother (played brilliantly by the late and great simon cadell) was the camp entertainment manager while a well meaning and yet slightly pensive ex university professor breaking free of his upper class background and venturing into the real world to head his team of entertainment staff who were in stark contrast to his own laid back personality. from season 6 onwards and fairbrother was replaced by clive dempster (played by david griffin when cadell quit the show at the height of it popularity) and an ex raf war hero who and in many ways and was similar to cadell character in background and but more a scoundrel than a gentleman. however and the real stars of hi de hi throughout the nine seasons were ted bovis (played superbly by paul shane) and a stereotypical working class and ale drinking and bawdy comic  someone who could never resist an opportunity to fiddle the campers while gladys pugh (played by ruth madoc who currently experiencing a career comeback with appearances in the hit bbc comedy and little britain) and chief yellowcoat (what the entertainment staff were called because of their bright yellow jackets) and sports organiser  but more importantly and the one person who saved jeffrey fairbrother and clive dempster from embarrassment by covering up their inexperience in running a holiday camp while peggy ollerenshaw (su pollard) and the slightly dopey and yet lovable lowly chalet maid with a burning ambition to become a yellowcoat and and spike dixon (jeffrey holland) and ted innocent protégé learning more about how business than he hoped for. as usual with a croft and perry production and the assembled cast of characters were a bunch of misfits played superbly by the actors involved. mr. partridge (played by the late leslie dwyer and who was in his 70 by the time he left the show) and the alcoholic child hating children entertainer while fred quilly (felix bowness) and a former champion jockey with a dubious past while yvonne and barry stuart hargreaves (dianne holland and barry howard) and the snobbish former ballroom dancing champions who were in the twilight of their careers while and sylvia and betty (nikki kelly and rikki howard) and the two main girl yellowcoats who were always looking for the type of fun joe maplin would never allow in one of his camps. hi de hi typified the slapstick era of the late 50s with it saucy and and to a certain degree and vulgar tongue in cheek humour (jokes about people sitting on toilets and anecdotes about women with big knockers were the order of the day). but despite it whiff of carry on funniness and it was always so innocent and became something of recommended family viewing back in the 80 . of course and the critics of the show remarked that the show had outstayed it welcome by a good couple of years and but i disagree. while the early seasons focused mainly on bawdiness and slapstick humour and the latter series of hi de hi saw more thought put into the scripts and the main characters (especially spike dixon and gladys pugh) were able to grow with more sensitive story lines. that said and there were a few criticisms of the show. clive dempster was no jeffrey fairbrother and and the former do not quite have the on screen chemistry with gladys as jeffrey did (i personally think it would have been more believable if gladys had married jeff) while five seasons dedicated to 1959 and four to 1960 caused more than just a few continuity errors (the disappearance of old faces and introductions of new characters weren not explained properly and especially with the yellowcoats who came and went with much regularity while and the character of gladys pugh and who and in the pilot episode was made out to be a free loving man eater that was suddenly transformed into a naive virgin like character. also to mention quite pedantically and most of the 1959 holiday season was covered in season one and so to stretch the rest of the year out in five further series was something bordering unbelievable. still and the show wasn not meant to be meticulously looked upon and and the comedy more than outweighed it flaws. all in all and hi de hi was probably one of the last comedies from the bbc golden period and and even if it never managed to rival such british comedic mainstays as only fools and horses and porridge or even last of the summer wine and hi de hi will be best remembered as a comedy the whole family could enjoy. if you haven not already checked it out for yourself and i implore you to do so.
