"My baby has gone down the plug hole!"
ShadeGrenade5 February 2009
Warning: Spoilers
Upton cannot study because his friends are too busy trying to organise a car rally. He finds himself paired with the lovely, frightfully posh ( she talks exactly like The Queen ) Fiona ( Angela Scoular ).

En route Fiona suggests they drop in on her sister Diana ( Bridget Armstrong ) and her husband Mungo ( Jonathan Cecil ). Diana is expecting a baby. It rains so Mike and Fiona decide to stay overnight.

Diana goes into labour. While Fiona and Mungo go off to fetch a doctor, Mike is left with Diana and has not got a clue what to do...

A nice Garden & Oddie episode with some good guest stars. Bridget Armstrong, who plays Diana, was in the film 'The Amorous Prawn' with Ian Carmichael and Cecil Parker, and would later play the wonderfully named 'Hazel Nuts' in 'The Lost Tribe Of The Orinoco' episode of 'The Goodies'. Jonathan Cecil also appeared in 'The Goodies' - as 'Arthur Minion' in 'Charity Bounce'. He was also in 'Dad's Army'. Cute Angela Scoular was 'Ruby' in the Bond film 'On Her Majesty's Secret Service', and a year after this went out, played fashion model 'Ophelia O'Brien' in the last of the 'Doctor' movies - 'Doctor In Trouble' - in which she co-starred with future husband Leslie Phillips.

Funniest moment - Upton attempting to practice midwifery by pulling a teddy bear through the back of a chair. When he tips it upside down, though, its head comes off!
