Half-way through their world tour, they were ambushed in Namibia by locals who took them hostage. Apparently the ransom was a dozen fondu sets. This was a fair while ago, when Henry Kissinger was still a diplomatic force to be reckoned with. He talked the kidnappers down to four fondu sets and a spare set of forks. My recollection of what happened next is hazy but I think the charity set up to consolidate the donations to buy the fondu sets got caught up in some Cayman Island taxation thing.

Although I did enjoy Are You Being Served? due to all the double entendres being flung around with gay abandon All that talk about "Mrs. Slocombe's pussy" from Captain Peacock. Ooo Errr indeed. I admit to a soft spot for Spike Milligans books too, anyone ever read his war diaries books?
i just realised... some of the old BBC radio shows like The Goon Show and Hancock's Half Hour deserve a mention too... especially Hancock's Half Hour, considering there were TV episodes too hehe

Bloodnok: "Eccles, go up to the top of that hill and tell me what you can see"

Eccles: "Nothing. But it's a lot clearer...."
