Unusually good episode
by kmoh-1 β€’ 2022-05-29

"Whether it was the move onto video or not, this episode of an often childish series moved onto surprising grown-up territory. Craig still makes mistakes, his boss is still colourless, the crooks are nearly as incompetent as Craig and the Irish tramps are perhaps as stereotypical a pair of characters as you could hope for, but once the plot gets going it's interesting and even moving, thanks to an excellent early performance by George Murcell. Vincent Ball as a sleeves-rolled-up vicar catches the eye too...."
