Mr. Grace (to Mr. Humphries, who is dressed in top hat and tails):
"Are you getting married, Mr. Humphries?"
Humphries: "No, sir."
Grace: "I thought not."

Seems like I remember seeing that episode recently on my local PBS or it was another similar joke Mr Grace made about Mr Humphries since he seemed to be more forward towards him about it. I'm thinking it was maybe from the episode where they were practicing for Mr Graces birthday doing the toys in the nursery but he only had the top hat outfit on when they did the quick change

Channel Six News, they'll finger anything with a pulse!

Can't remember which Mr Grace it was, but Mr Rumbold was trying to find out if Mr Humphries was getting promoted to head of gents and asked "Is he or isn't he?" and the response was something like "I've been wondering that myself."

Mr Grace often seems not there, but occasionally shows some keen insight.

that joke of course has become obsolete now since we now have same sex marriage. Younger viewers will need it explained to them in the future.
