Billy plans on spending the weekend with Barbara at Stratford-Upon-Avon, ostensibly to see a theatre production of 'Julius Caesar'. Really, he has his sights set on slightly less intellectual pursuits - he wants a dirty weekend. When Barbara storms out on him after a heated row in a café, he flirts with sexy waitress Betty ( Elissa Derwent ), and asks her to go with him instead. She accepts.
All looks good for Billy until Barbara reappears, having changed her mind. So now he is stuck with not one, but two women who want to go with him to the Bard's hometown. Which one should he take?
Once again Billy has girl trouble, and has to lie his way out of it. He really hasn't much of a choice. Betty is coarse, vulgar and sexually experienced, while Barbara is soft, soppy and virginal. I know who I would take!
Elissa Derwent is one of the hottest females ever to grace a television screen. In one of Billy's fantasies, she is a French maid, who then strips off behind a screen, before streaking ( literally ) into the bathroom. The sight of a nude woman in a '70's sitcom was rare indeed, and being Elissa its a welcome one. Her 'Betty' is a less strident version of the Gwendoline Watts character in the 'Billy Liar' movie.
As with almost any 'Billy' episode, the fantasy sequences are the funniest moments. Billy chasing Betty ( clad in only a towel ) around a bedroom Benny Hill fashion is easily the highlight here.
