Tripper's Day: Alarms and Diversions (1984)
Season 1, Episode 5
4/10
Another mediocre episode.
27 March 2021
Tripper looks forward to welcoming the millionth customer into the store, but first he has to sort out the alarm system, which is randomly going off at all hours.

Unfortunately it really is another weak episode. I've actually warmed to some of these characters, I really like Alf and Hilda for example, even the milky wet Mr Christian was slightly improved here.... but....

...it's the writing, it's just so incredibly poor, the gags feel laboured, even though for the most part they're competently delivered, it's just all so deliberate and predictable, nothing feels natural.

Hilda and Tripper shared a few half decent scenes, I thought the problems associated with industrial disputes occured years before this? I may be wrong.

Not good sadly, 4/10.
