This episode is probably the only one in which Mr. Lucas is in total command, who is otherwise looked down upon by some colleagues as some kind of a pariah, who never belongs to the inner circle. Mrs. Slocombe is the feminist par excellence at a time when feminism was not political.

I love: This is your life Rachel Yiddle (Mrs. Slocomb).

If you like to see John Inman performing on the stage, here he is at the old time English Music Hall (first and third spots on the bill): @_eBU Incidentally, people who like the feel good factor of these English programmes will also generally appreciate the BBC "Good Old Days" old time music hall series in which he appears occasionally here. Many famous actors and performers can be seen in these programmes and it's always good, clean, happy stuff (The equivalent of Vaudeville in the USA). Best evening entertainment there is in my view, compared to today's tv rubbish! Enjoy!
