Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaBelieved to be the last of only five screen appearances for Martyn Townsend.
- GoofsOn the ride into town. Mrs. Slocombe points out a bull mounting a cow, thinking it is doing so to get a better view. This joke might work if Mrs. Slocombe was a lifelong city dweller, but she was experienced in country matters, having lived on a farm during World War II. She would certainly have known what the animals were doing.

Featured review
If the first one was warm, sweet and funny, then this second one was just plain hilarious, a sign that Jeremy Lloyd and David Croft still had magic in store for their much loved characters. Without the confines of the store they were now free to get their characters into some real scrapes, first up, of course, Mrs Slocombe.
The dialogue is incredibly funny, the visuals even better, Mrs Slocombe was always my favourite character, I loved her caustic comments, but also found her so incredibly funny, physically, some of the stuff they had her doing, well, she was some sport! The images of her on that Horse and Carriage are just so funny.
The dynamic between Mr Humphreys and Mavis is also proving to be a real hit, their woodshed scenes were so funny.
A real triumph 10/10
