As a queer American who grew up watching this show as a kid on my local PBS affiliate, I remember my mind being absolutely BLOWN by Cissy Meldrum. She was the first example of a chic, confident lesbian I ever saw on television. We had NOTHING like her on TV here in the States. I vividly remember being entranced every time she was on screen. I was always so jealous of Penelope. 😅
@@Adrian-kl2ql It was pretty groundbreaking in how it portrayed a lesbian character on a sitcom that aired during the afternoon, and in a very positive light. Next to Ivy and Henry, she was the most likable character in the series.
@@Nina-fefrv or rather she has like we all have because we went to school in England. It’s just we decided to either view it purely as an historical document or we understood it the way our liberal state churchmen understand it. It’s much better than being superstitious, homophobic, and American

That was such big hit in Hungary that we have meeting with the actors 6 years ago.

I dunno. She’s based on real people in the bright young set of the 20s
@@Nina-fefrv I did once. It made great toilet paper.

So Glad I found your channel pls make some aybs content next
Squiffy laughs and Cissy just goes 'oh my god, why is he always next to me'
Why does she keep changing which eye she uses her monocle with?
@@gregodify I had never noticed that before!
I guess because she is wearing it for aesthetic reasons rather than a medical one, is the simplest explanation
Seems to be part of her maverick personality rather than short-sightedness; in the final episode she stops wearing it completely.
A monocle wasn't always a seeing aid, it was simply part of one's dress.
Is crazy they could be so open about her being gay back then in a tv show

"Icon". You misspelled "loon".
Ahh, yes. British 'cousins'. >_>
If only vegan silk satin?
