I always found it amusing that Ben Elton wrote this. The man who, at the beginning of his career, was openly contemptuous about the likes of Benny Hill and the "old brigade" of comedy. He then came up with this pile of juvenile double entendres, mouthed by the most cliched of characters in the most cliched of formats. Some of the stuff written for the gay policeman would have been dumped by the "Carry On" team. Perhaps it was all a clever pastiche that went over my head.
