Of course we have had a Queen here before.

The team are all back from their holidays, they welcome Mr Grainger's replacement, Mr Tebbs to the department, they also plan for the possibility of a royal visit.

It is a funny start to the sixth series, there are some funny scenes, and some fine one liners. Miss Brahms had a funny scene with the posh customer, but the standout moment being where Mrs Slocombe and Captain Peacock playing the Queen and Philip, it's a hilarious scene.

Finally the staff canteen sees a few extras, it no longer looks like a single floor department store.

The wonderful James Hayter joins as Mr Tebbs, a fine actor, but I was never a huge fan of his character, Arthur Brough was much missed.

Good fun 7/10
