Siobhan Hayes joins the cast here as Ben's niece (Abi), who would fill the void left by Janey in the house, in this stellar episode of the show.
Abi would be a weird character in everyway during her 5 year stint on the show. At this stage she was being written almost like a British version of Phoebe from 'Friends', though would become much dimmer than that character was as time went on.
It's a busy episode, with lots of lovely Ben/Susan interaction, and Kris Marshall on top form as Nick, who here is wanting to be a magician.
The Ben/Nick scenes were a highlight of the first 4 (and 1 episode of S5) with the chemistry between Robert Lindsay and Marshall being a joy to watch.
A really good episode overall.
