The Matchmaker from Hell!

[Sleepin_Dragon · 5/10 · 3 November 2021]

Hobbo is once again trying to matchmake, he's moved on from Stella, and now turns his attentions to both Toby and Howard.

It's definitely running out of steam, and that is such a shame, Clarke is recycling material, and is struggling to provide any laughs. A definite over reliance on Robert Fyfe and Russ Abbott, Trevor Bannister is definitely being wasted.

It is seriously missing Clegg and Truly, such a shame the pair are now virtually absent.

The ending is fairly funny, the serenading scene was at least funny, and unexpected.

5/10.

Going back to the ex

[Prismark10 · 5/10 · 20 July 2019]

Hobbo when he is not bothering Nelly decides to help out both Toby and Howard.

Toby realises the benefits of living with his wife and the marital home. Despite having Morton as a skivvy.

Howard meanwhile feels isolated by Pearl and Hobbo needs him to be close to Pearl and Nelly. A bunch of flowers could do the trick.

As for Toby, he never was much of a husband and decides to turn over a new leaf but his wife reckons she is better off without him.

There are little moments such as Stella missing her husband despite the blazing rows they had. Morton thinking suicide is more interesting than being on the latest date arranged by Glenda.

Even with the changes in cast, Roy Clarke is rigidly sticking with another formula and it is hard to differentiate this with the previous episode where Hobbo to pair off Stella with Zorro.
