You Rang M'Lord? torrent

You Rang M'Lord? is a BBC television sitcom written by Jimmy Perry and David Croft, the creators of Dad's Army, It Ain't Half Hot Mum and Hi-de-Hi! It was broadcast between 1990 and 1993 on the BBC (although there had earlier been a pilot episode in 1988). The show was a comedy set in the house of an aristocratic family in the 1920s, contrasting the upper-class family and their servants in a house in London, along the same lines as the popular drama Upstairs, Downstairs.

All that said, this is a very funny series which bears many of the hallmarks of Perry & Crofts other shows: a large ensemble cast, absurd situations, occasional slapstick, and subtle innuendo. Donald Hewlett and Michael Knowles are teamed again, as in It Ain't Half Hot, and portray similar characters. A few other IAHH alumni appear too.

Unlike most of Perry & Croft's other works, there are continuing story threads running through the episodes, and at 50 minutes per episode, this allows more complex and sophisticated storytelling. On the flip side, this also means that we're not being broadsided with a punchline every 15 seconds or so. This led, at the time, to the criticism that the show wasn't very funny. To be fair, no, it is not funny in the same way Are You Being Served? is. The humor is slower paced, the buildups more complex and deliberate, and the payoffs less reliant on double entendre and other easy, bawdy, quips. Not to say these are absent!

The entire show, contained in this torrent, consists of four series, with 6 or 7 episodes in each series (or season, to use the American jargon). As noted before, each episode is about 50 minutes. Sorry, I don't have any technical info on the video or audio rendering. This collection is modified and corrected from an existing collection which contained some mislabelings and duplications.
