The Party

Well Brian is bored at the pub and goes to the docks to one of these trendy nightclubs with an exclusive clientele. The bar owner seems to be enchanted by this man from another time and his told tales. It is just a shame that Brian never figures out the dangers of not blending in.

Barbara sees an old school friend who has done well for herself, not to be outdone Barbara lies about her financial position not realising that her friend is a con woman. After all she has already conned Howell by selling him a magic protective shield.

At the end everyone is in danger as the bar owners are a blood thirsty lot.

I feel this was a well put together episode but not especially a funny one. The plot could easily had been interchangeable with a few tweaks with Red Dwarf.
