Divided We Stand is one of my favourite episodes from the early 1970s series.

Firstly I like the scene where Harold throws the book that he's reading towards Albert's hat that is seen just above the top of the partition moving from right to left and it appears that Harold actually finds it funny himself and briefly bursts out laughing along with the studio audience who are also laughing as well.

Secondly I always wonder when after the scene in the toilet Harold runs back into the house but appears to go in through Albert's half of the front door instead of his own half of the front door and then he has to pay a penny to go back into the kitchen?. Although thinking about it again if Harold went back into the house through his own half of the front door I suppose he wouldn't be able to get to his half of the divided kitchen and would instead be in Albert's half of the divided kitchen?.
