Drop a sardine on the mat.

Grace Brothers are once again struggling, Mr Humphries saves the day, an advertising campaign. The face of Miss Brahms is used to being in the customers, it also attracts a wealthy admirer.

It's a great episode, it's very funny, it once again makes use of the British class system.

It's nice to see Miss Brahms the centre of attention here, they began to rely so much on Inman and Sugden at this stage. Wendy really does a great job in this one. Mr Klein is almost invisible.

Some great scenes, first off, Mrs Slocombe's conversation with her neighbour Mr Akhbar, how on Earth they got away with that one, but goodness me it's laugh out loud funny. Then there's the meal, outrageously funny, two John Thomas's please.

It's very funny, 8/10.

Warning: Spoilers
The only episode of S8 that really gave Wendy Richards the chance to shine as Miss Brahms, and it's probably up there with the best of the series.

A performer from another David Croft sitcom ('Allo Allo' star Gorden Kaye) makes a fun appearance, and it's lovely to see the staff actually get out of the shop for the episodes final scene.

Good fun all round. A personal favourite episode from S8.
