This is another episode where Foggy wants to do something good and has to persuade a reluctant Compo and Clegg into volunteering for the church variety show.
On the way there we hear more of Clegg's issues with his marriage which started as soon as he got married at church. You would had never had known from The First of the Summer Wine when young Clegg was rather more enthusiastic about women then.
There is a nice bit of comedy as the vicar's wife opens the door as Foggy is strangling Compo. Then Foggy ends up talking to her through the letterbox, only for the vicar to turn up and wonder why his wife is speaking to a stranger through the letterbox. It is the return of John Horsley who played the vicar several years earlier in the episode Jubilee, where he had a nervous wife driving a float.
This time the vicar wants more pizazz and Foggy promises to deliver a song and dance act as the Three Astaires, although the vicar asks Clegg to keep away from the scenery.
The episode then diverts from the show and focuses in Compo's interest in the costume box. He dresses up as a Mexican bandit, then as a knight, Dolly Parton before he is bandaged up as the Invisible Man which allows him to get sympathy from Nora Batty.
