Hilarious.

Hyacinth and Richard are invited to a golfing weekend by The Major, only he's suffering with a bad leg.

It's one of those episodes where I find Hyacinth particularly overbearing, she's the eternal pain in the posterior, you'd imagine every employee at that hotel would have breathed a sigh of relief when she vacated.

Routledge shows once again how physically funny she is, that scene where she's trying to find a seat in the lounge is breathless, but funny. Bernard Archard and Dinah Sheridan are both terrific, a wonderful pairing, The Doctor Who fans among you will of course know him from The Pyramids of Mars.

It's the first time we haven't seen Elizabeth. The last time we saw The Major, it was the first episode, he's back performing again,

The scene with The Maid was almost reminiscent of Allo Allo. Pure farce.

Good fun, 8/10.

Some people need a sense of humour

Contrary to nerdydad and his inane ramblings this is quite simply comedy gold. You know a time when comedy didnt offend those delicate minded end of bells.

Only funny if you think sexual assault is funny

Warning: Spoilers
The Major decides he fancies Hyacinth, so takes her on a drive and tries to sexually assault her. Hyacinth fights him off and staggers away. Apparently in 1991 this was the height of hilarious comedy. Today, it is just an awkward example of embarrassingly bad this sitcom was.
