Drop a sardine on the mat.

Grace Brothers are once again struggling, Mr Humphries saves the day, an advertising campaign. The face of Miss Brahms is used to being in the customers, it also attracts a wealthy admirer.

It's a great episode, it's very funny, it once again makes use of the British class system.

It's nice to see Miss Brahms the centre of attention here, they began to rely so much on Inman and Sugden at this stage. Wendy really does a great job in this one. Mr Klein is almost invisible.

Some great scenes, first off, Mrs Slocombe's conversation with her neighbour Mr Akhbar, how on Earth they got away with that one, but goodness me it's laugh out loud funny. Then there's the meal, outrageously funny, two John Thomas's please.

It's very funny, 8/10.

Quotes
Captain Peacock: Oh, the caviar sounds rather tempting.
Miss Brahms: Here, that's 10 pound a throw, you're not having that.
Captain Peacock: Miss Brahms... we are here to give you a respectable background. And as Lord Hurley has been generous enough to foot the bill, I don't see why we shouldn't have a good meal while we're at it.
Miss Brahms: That's all you're here for, isn't it?
Mrs. Slocombe: Well, on our wages, all we could afford in this place would be egg and chips.
