My recent favourite:
As genuine as a tranny's fanny

And one for further discussion - do we think that 'this investigation is moving at the speed of a spastic in a magnet factory' was perhaps a leeeeeetle too close to the bone, even given the 1970s context?
You can't have it both ways - why is it funny to take the mickey out of transsexuals, but not spastics?

A lot of it is very close to the bone, but that's how it was in the 70's and I for one am glad that todays overwhelming PC directive hasn't affected a brilliant bit of television.
