I take it back Stephen Rea's Yorkshire accent certainly improved in the second episode.
Once again it is noticeable that Peter Tinniswood's writing here could be interchangeable with Roy Clarke's Last of the Summer Wine.
Carter is getting engaged and the family are invited for tea at Pat's mother's house.
Only to find that Mrs Partington is a motormouth.
The episode also introduces Linda Preston who openly flirts with Carter. For Uncle Mort she is the perfect woman. A bloke with a big chest.
It really gives Robin Bailey a chance to shine. Uncle Mort was not someone you would associate the actor with. He tends to play posh or middle class types.
Mort talks about how Mrs Partington could had shortened world war one. Also how each family had at least one knitter. Which explains why his cardigan was so tight.
