What should be remembered for being the episode where the infamous Nora Batty arrives, is perhaps overshadowed by the magical Liz Smith, and her zany, mushy pie munching character.
The dialogue and one liners are hilarious, Bill Owen is physically very funny, Nora Batty's arrival is legendary, her character would become somewhat of a national institution, which of us hasn't known a Mrs Batty in our time. All that plus Liz Smith, make for an absolute classic, so different to the episodes that came in future.
A gem in a very funny first series, 9/10
