For those who might be interested and live in New Zealand like me, last year season is on TV again. I'm rewatching not just because this was the season that hooked me in but just to see crazy Jacqui again and her facial expressions.

Hi everyone, I recently bought the complete series of this amazing series and having a blast rewatching it after so many years of not doing so. The first time I watched Are You Being Served? Was in the 2000s as a kid. My nana when she was alive introduced me to this show along with Mr. Bean, Last of The Summer Wine, Fawlty Towers and other British classics.

Now of course as a kid, I obviously didnt understand adult jokes but for the most part I did find the series funny whether its Mr. Rumbold being an idiot or Mr. Grainger dozing on and off when not being difficult or being a little senile, then there's Young Mr. Grace. Oh boy. I remember every Saturday, I would visit my nana's home and we would watch the weekly repeats of this show that went from 10am - 12:30pm. She had cable before me and my mum did.

Fast Forward to 2026 at 31 years old and revisiting this series for the first time. Im still loving it and understanding all the jokes now, and watching some earlier episodes I never got to see as kid, while also having memories of episodes that I do remember seeing. I love all the characters but Mr. Grainger is still my top favorite, and now currently on series 5 knowing its his last series unfortunately.

I love everytime Mr. Rumbold says something foolish near Captain Peacock and Captain Peacock just as this "Idiot" expression about him, I also enjoyed seeing Mr. Mash in the first three series, he was hilarious. Mr. Harman though I remembered seeing as a kid.

I apologize if this question and discussion was already brought up in the past, I've only just discovered this subreddit. I always found it odd how Travis never brought up his encounter with Palentine to Betsy before their disastrous date at the adult theater.

This was when Travis drove Palentine and his associate, Travis pretending to be a supporter of Palentine telling every customer he has must vote Palentine before rambling about his frustrations with New York.

You would think Travis would bring it up to Betsy to impress her more given she's a legitimate supporter.

The entire prequel takes place before and during the original Dragon Ball series but ends the moment Frieza arrives on Namek in DBZ. Think about it. We could see more development from King Cold with his interactions with both Frieza and Cooler. Frieza may be the public face running the empire but King Cold is still pulling the strings behind closed doors. We could see how King Cold came to know of Majin Buu, maybe even being aware of Bibidi or Babidi, and a chance for King Cold to really show his strength in battle.

We could see more of Cooler with his relationships with Frieza and King Cold, keeping a healthy distance from the two unless business calls for him to meet with both if not one of them. Vegeta, Nappa and Raditz going around from planet to planet doing Frieza's bidding, hearing rumors and whispers of what really happened to their planet. Vegeta's growing hatred for Frieza, his rivalries with Cui and the Ginyu Force.

Including the Ginyu Force would just be great. Who doesnt love these guys? Zarbon and Dodoria would also be recurring characters, same with Cooler's Armored Squadron. And maybe just maybe a cameo of where the hell Babidi is within the universe with Dabura and his minions and what they were doing while waiting for their return to Earth

By the time Goku was battling Nuova Shenron along with Eis showing up to cause mischief by first targeting Pan, Syn was already in that city observing everything from the shadows. Observing Goku's fighting style against the twin Shadow Dragon brothers. When Syn finally steps out of the shadows so to speak by killing Nuova, he says "I wait. No more."

Now its most likely what Syn meant by that is he no longer wants to sit back and observe while his comrades have all the fun. Perhaps sickened by Nuova being so honorable to not strike Goku when Goku was left temporarily blinded by Eis.

However, could it be possible that Syn was stalking Goku and Pan since he was released from the one star Dragon Ball? Even when he started fighting Goku, he was toying with him by stalking and attacking Goku. Afterall Syn in GT is the final villain in the series. The final boss. It would kinda make sense for him to wait in the shadows before emerging

I just want to make it clear that he isn't a favorite of mine and he got what he deserved when General Rilldo killed him, but I applaud the fact this type of character even existed in the first place. There's a lot of weirdos and creeps in our world with obsessions on items or people. And in Dolltaki's case it ended up being Pan. So why not have a character like that somewhere in the galaxy? We haven't seen a creep like this since General Blue I reckon

The scene with him trying to remove Pan's clothing is still very uncomfortable especially Pan's protest, if not outright disturbing. It was definitely intentional and goes to show GT wasn't afraid to have these types of bastards or just take unique risks in general which is another reason why I love this series.
