Subject: Not to be confused with "Rollercoaster"
This series is British. I donno who uploaded it. But one thing is for sure...When I start to reproduce, I want my children to watch this instead of that inane, racist, cloying and downright embarrassing "Rollercoaster" series aired on "non-commercial"-television (ABC-2) where I live. Should that turkey still be running when I'm old enough to have children, of course.

On a side note, the theme of spoofing class differences shown here is one of the very oldest in TV: "I Married Joan" (1952-1955) spoofed it, the 60's/70's gem "Bewitched" spoofed it twice (same script, somewhat different cast), and modern series spoof it as well. It may be older than that: "The Life of Riley" from 1949 may have been the first in TeeVeeland, and in film in dates back to the silent era.

It is one of those things which could apply to any era. Which is more than you can say about the annoyingly arty-farty "I love me!" topical nature of "Rollercoaster".
