Open all Summer Wine.

Granville realises that if Mr Newbold is smitten with Mrs Rossi he'll be stuck with the unwanted attention of The Black Widow.

As has been the case with previous sitcoms penned by Roy Clarke it is hugely formulaic. The usual setup involves Leroy opens the store looking tired, Granville trying to get the cash in the till, then making some bizarre concoction out the back, then we get the funny bit usually involving Mrs Featherstone.

This does follow all of those points, and once again it is Cole that provides the laughs. Credit to those behind it for casting Archie Panjabi and Sue Holderness, both have been great additions.

Why was Gastric dressed like Michelle of The Resistance?

I got a flashback to Howard and Marina when I saw Mr Newbold in cycling gear. The only way he can meet Mrs Rossi on the sly is by going cycling together.

As Granville does not want to be stuck with Mrs Featherstone. He needs her to teach her cycling again. However getting the Black Widow on a bike proves to be a challenge.

Meanwhile Cyril and Eric are sold some special snuff by Granville with added aphrodisiac qualities. When they find out that they have been stiffed again, I guess they turned the air blue.

At least Roy Clarke gives everyone something to do. Cyril's and Eric's wives do keep fit. Gastric also wants to get fit so he can impress Madge. He dressed up like a flasher though!
