There was no need to run the wire all around the picture rail on the back wall, they could have run it over the front window frame and, if necessary, over the top of the kitchen partition wall, which would have an equal amount of wiring on show, but less cable needed. You did ask.

That's when children were children.

Wasn't there a similar storage space in A Bicycle Made for Three, where the trio mended their bicycles?

He forgot what he was talking about - and so pretended to be mesmerised by Naga, to jokingly cover up his forgetfulness. Earlier he had explained how to keep it going when you have a weak moment in a stage show - I suppose this is a similar instance really.
