Here are screenshots of more obvious bloopers as well as cast members almost cracking up:

Very funny - I especially like the one of Mr. Lucas in Mr. Rumbold's office. There are several times I thought he was on the verge of losing it during those scenes!

There are two excellent ones in S3E6 "German Week".

They are sitting at the table to discuss how the first day went and waiting for Mr. Rumbold to show up.

Mr. Humphries says he has to get home soon because his "slippers are in the oven"  - Trevor Banister looks like he's very close to cracking up to the point that he almost misses his next line.

Mrs. Slocombe delivers one of her famous "pussy" jokes and Wendy can't stop smiling at it and is about to break character.

Cool-Thanks for the heads up! Going through one show at a time in order as I get time. Trying for once a week to keep a good pace. Quite a challenge to capture just the right moment sometimes. <grr>

Just re-watched "Our Figures are slipping" - It always looked like they had SO much fun taping these early episodes and that many of the laughs were indeed genuine.

I liked the bloopers of Wendy the best on this episode, it's funny seeing her react genuinely to all the humor in the show.

John Inman laughing is my favorite 'almost blooper' in the episode "His and Hers".

I think they were allowed to have more fun on the sets during the earlier seasons, whereas later on it became more serious as the show became extremely popular and the cast had to nail their lines and cues on a regular basis.

Of course, they all also greatly improved as actors over those years as well as they worked on many other shows and routinely performed on stage.
