The late Harold Gould was a talented actor, but Martin was a somewhat thankless role. Plus, he was absolutely overshadowed by the three women.

Or, as Rowlf the Dog on The Muppet Show once said, "That's the time to stuff cotton in your ears!"

I liked Martin,he was the complete opposite of Ida,he had to be and it was
believable that he went walk about,after needing a break from Ida!

Benny I found annoying,and the always funny Brenda became a bit of a drag

with Benny.
