Emery's memorable characters and their catchphrases quickly made the show a ratings winner. He demonstrated his flair for dialects and rhythms of speech with a galaxy of characters: a buck-toothed vicar; a hen-pecked husband thwarted in his attempts to dispose of his nagging wife; College, a gentleman tramp; biker Ton-up Boy; and the outrageously camp Clarence, with his catchphrase, "Hello Honky Tonks". In true music-hall tradition, Emery was never afraid to don drag; two popular characters were sex-starved spinster Hettie (loosely based on a producer's secretary), who would go to great lengths to achieve her ends - even breaking into a prison, only to be thrown out by the inmates - and buxom blonde Mandy, who mistook innocent questions for innuendo, eventually hitting the interviewer with the pay-off line, "Ooh, you are awful. But I like you."
