Great fun this. For me, it's usually enough to see these two great comedy performers working. The quality of the writing was better than the previous series and, I suspect, that was something to do with the late Geoffrey Perkins eye for what works. (It took me somewhat by surprise, yet I was pleased to see him given a proper tribute at the end of the show, not just a quick photo after credits - which is what happened to Harry Thompson with HIGNFY.)
The Writer And The Landlady was a weird and wonderful sketch. Have had a bit of my fill with the builders though, to be honest. Really liked the fisherman tentatively & ashamedly trying to impart his cultural knowledge. The surgeons are always fun (and those type of surgeons does very nearly exist).
Overall, am looking forward to the rest of this series. I expect a few unexpected treats and (as ever) great performances from two of our national comedy treasures.
