If you want a further laugh when watching Hi-de-Hi, turn on the subtitles - I don't know who on earth wrote them, but for example in the episode "Man Trap", Gladys tells Ted he has a heart "the size of a football".
Admittedly with her accent she drops the "ll" so it sounds more like footba' but how the subtitle-writer translated it to "the size of a foot spa" I'll never know!
I would have thought common sense would have suggested comparing his heart to a "foot spa" would sound a bit odd and made me double-check I'd heard right!
I feel sorry for people who depend on the subtitles - they're awful.
