Hi-de-Hi! (1980–1988)
7/10
I liked this series - silly but good for a laugh - I'd rewrite the ending

I liked this series. I love British humour.

This show is completely silly but hilarious.

I knew of a number of the main actors from another series called You Rang M'Lord which is funny too but sadly, youtube only has a few episodes there.

I watched the entire Hi de Hi series on youtube which was great.

I noticed the writing started to get old in the last few seasons with a lot of repetitive themes. It went especially downhill in the last season which is common with TV series.

I was so disappointed that they didn't write a better and more creative ending. Instead, they wrapped it up in a rather hum drum and nonsensical manner.

I think a better and more logical happy ending would have been for the rich man who led the camp to somehow have his family take him back into the fold, in spite of his marriage, because they needed him to come and run their farm and amusement park.

That way his wife (the Welsh woman who was the best yellow coat around) could have helped run things and the majority of the rest of the staff could have all been given jobs there.

This would have been a much better and a very happy and settled ending rather than the half hazard one they wrote.

That's my two cents.
