==Synopsis==
''Hi-de-Hi!'' is set within a [[holiday camp]] situated in the fictional seaside town of Crimpton-on-Sea, [[Essex]], covering the summer holiday seasons of 1959 and 1960. Owned by Maplins, run by the enigmatic owner Joe Maplin, the camp operates in a similar manner to real-life holiday camps, including providing entertainment and activities through its staff of Yellowcoats – a parody of the real-life [[Butlins Redcoats|Redcoats]], [[Pontins|Bluecoats]], and [[Warner Leisure Hotels|Greencoats]]. The Yellowcoats are led by Ted Bovis, the camp host, and consist of three different groups of entertainers: the young, who see the job as a lucky break into showbusiness; the middle-aged, who are realistic about their prospects but still cling to the hope that they can still achieve fame; and the veterans, the oldest members of staff who see their job as a step down from former stardom glories.

Many of the stories focus on the relationships between the characters, the constant issues that arise from Ted's attempts to scam the camp's holidaymakers, and other issues sometimes brought on by Maplin himself. The sitcom notably focused on a common theme in stories surrounding the erosion of class boundaries during the post-war period and attitudes of staff towards each other – a recurring element in stories is chalet maid Peggy Ollerenshaw's desire to be a Yellowcoat and the dislike Yellowcoat Sports Organiser Gladys Pugh has towards this idea.
