I swear it's getting funnier.

Claire continues to pressure Chester into leaving Jessica, Danny arranges a fishing trip with Burt, providing the perfect opportunity for bumping off his stepfather.

One of the funniest episodes so far, this was incredibly funny, laugh out loud moments from start to finish. Burt's offspring are certainly different.

The way Benson sarcastically takes down Chester is side splitting, he's back to his very best. Chuck certainly made an instant impression, he's hilarious, Bob really is a creepy little guy, like something from a hammer horror film.

The Major hasn't been as present as I'd hoped, he certainly was here, kidnapping the unsuspecting neighbour, so funny.

The rooftop scene was a scream, no way can Danny kill Burt, especially now that the pair are starting to get along so well.

9/10.

Chuck and Bob meet the Campbells.
BA_Harrison23 November 2019
The Major goes on patrol, eventually turning up with a German prisoner (in reality, their next-door neighbour, who's understandably not very happy). Chester's secretary Claire tells Jessica about her husband's infidelity. And Danny meets Burt at work (42 stories up) to invite him to go fishing. Benson the butler is as great as always, reveling in Chester's misfortune, but dumbfounded when Jessica Tate announces that she thinks Claire is deluded. All of this very funny, but it's the arrival of Chuck and Bob from Hawaii that brings the biggest laughs: Bob, the ventriloquist dummy, who Burt's son Chuck thinks is alive, comes out with some great remarks, while the reactions of the other members of the Campbell family are priceless.

The ending is also a lot of fun as Danny and Burt arrive at their fishing trip cabin where a gun is hidden up the chimney, ready for Danny to fulfil his contract. Will he go through with the hit? Find out next week on....SOAP!
