Compo, Cleggy, Foggy, Sid and Ivy set off for a weekend in Scarborough, driven by the slightly vacant Gordon. Foggy aims to make the weekend run like clockwork, he's a stickler for time keeping and order. Compo does his utmost, dressed in his summer jacket, to scupper his plans for efficiency.
This kicked off a wonderful 2 part story, I think the only time the comedy moved away from its glorious surroundings, it feels wonderfully fresh. It's been a long time since I went to Scarborough, it makes me feel nostalgic.
Some great lines, 'look at him standing there like a bossy giraffe.' 'You remind me of my Auntie Bluebell, she did't wear so much scent.'
Sid and Ivy were a wonderful comedy duo, great chemistry, such contrasting characters, she was so bullish in these early days. Philip Jackson (Poirot's Japp) is hardly recognisable as Gordon.
It's a wonderful warm, cosy episode, it's funny and loaded with charm, I love this one.
9/10.
