Radio Times review
When it comes to relationships between the sexes, nothing much has changed at the Doncaster corner shop since Arkwright's day. Women are still battleaxes; men are kept under the thumb; and marriage is a prison sentence. The humour is, shall we say, nostalgic, too, with sight gags and plot developments you can see coming with your eyes shut.
In this episode Kevin, the world's most reluctant bridegroom, is due to get married so Granville employs an oversized sunflower (don't ask) to stop him escaping. At least the impending celebration puts Mrs Featherstone (the splendid Stephanie Cole) in romantic mood - "I can get quite girlish over a handsome bank account".
