The house that Jack built.
Sleepin_Dragon30 April 2024
Alf, Ada, Hetty and Osbert head off to an idyllic break in a charming cottage in the countryside, unfortunately the cottage is incredibly run down, the weather is terrible, and Osbert has left all of the food on the coach.

The Café setting served its purpose, it changed things up, but it became apparent that it had its limitations, no wonder they started branching out in this final series, they definitely started to follow usual sitcom formats, so here we got the inevitable holiday episode.

I enjoyed this final installment, pretty funny, and nice to see the crowd in holiday mode, even if the location wasn't exactly the last word in comfort.

It definitely made me want to watch Inn for Trouble, if you like this series and haven't seen it, I urge you to give it a try.

You can only imagine what a cottage like that would be worth in this day and age, the original air BnB?

It's a shame it came to an end here, it was definitely on the up.

7/10.

Country Style

It is summer, the cafe will be shut for two weeks. Everyone is off on their summer holidays.

Lofty, Henry and Paddy have hired a bus. I don't think it's a Cliff Richard Summer Holiday they have in mind.

On their way they drop off. Alf, Ada, Hetty and Osbert Rigby-Soames to a country cottage. Ada saw it on an advert in a magazine and paid for it without enquiring about it any further.

The quaint country cottage is a ramshackle heap. The food box has been left behind in the bus and it starts to rain.

It could be a miserable and hungry fortnight for everyone with no gas, electric and crockery.

This was the final episode. The miserable holiday was another sitcom trope. This ticked a lot of the boxes. Maybe the boys in the bus will return.
