This episode of this excellent series is worth a viewing for the repartee and duet between Patricia Routledge and "Alice Baynes" (Jane Lowe) performing "Why Has A Cow Got Four Legs?" - the badinage between these two old friends prior to this musical interlude is absolutely wicked: "Fetch me the Magna Carta signed by Barry Manilow and you still couldn't detect a gas leak with a blow torch" This superb and off beat series wasn't afraid of tackling awkward subjects like bigamy (A Rose By Any Other Name) and relationships between mentally handicapped people (Not All There) (Misnamed, but not entirely inappropriately, as "Runaways" in IMDb listings). The pilot episode, Missing Persons, (1990) features the amazing Jimmy Jewel, and should be included as an appetizer to this series which should have lasted longer.
