==Catchphrases==
The following are among the best known of the catchphrases from the show. Some became common currency among the general public for many years; others were more ephemeral.{{sfn|Rees|1994|pp=1–2, 14, 40, 58, 125–127, 237}} One—"TTFN"—remained in frequent use throughout the second half of the 20th century and into the 21st, latterly being used in chat rooms, emails and newsgroups to sign off a message or posting.{{sfn|"TTFN". ''Oxford Reference''}} "It's being so cheerful that keeps me going" also remains in use, seen in British newspapers many times in the first two decades of the 21st century.{{sfn|"It's being so cheerful that keeps me going".
