Mr Grace, here is your department.
by Sleepin_Dragon2019-12-01
9/10

"Mr Grace has become an octogenarian, so the staff put on a special treat for him. It's another classic episode, and it's nice to see Young Mr Grace put centre stage for a change, the trip down memory lane is very funny, and we get an insight into how Grace Brothers started. I loved the scene where Mrs Slocombe and Miss Brahms fight over the fur coat sale, it's a fine moment. We learn who Rachel Yiddle is, and we get that wonderful scene where John Inman drags up to play Mother, it's a hilarious scene. I'd forgotten just how good this fifth series was. 9/10..."

💡 Did You Know?

Throughout the episode they make mention of "that show where they show your life starting in short pants and ending shaking hands with Danny LaRue " and each person saying "I saw that I didn't like it" . This is a joke in reference to John Inman (who plays Mr. Humphries) recently being the subject of an installment of This Is Your Life (1955) and his cast mates making an appearance.
