...continue to protect vigilantly the culture of PBHA as it has developed over the past 100 years. We urge the College administration to meet the new and capable leadership of PBHA in an honest, principled, and frank fashion.

...running gag of the show is the neurotic cockney maid Edith, who is unable to perform her duties at a normal pace.
