Series five is starting to improve.

Alf tries to get one up on his mates, and bravado gets the better of him, he agrees to a friendly game of darts.....one with a £50 stake, it just so happens the evening they've chosen is Alf and Ada's wedding anniversary, a date he's forgotten.

Series five has felt very strange, with half of the cast missing, it has felt as though something important is missing, just like poor Hetty's family, who have all seemed to have abandoned here.

It was nice to see the focus on Alf and Ada's relationship, up until now their marriage has been functional, we've not had a single hint of romance, this does explore that side of their union.

There are a couple of funny sequences, Alf desperately trying to get to the match was funny, Charlie was a scream. Always good to see Victor Maddern,he was quite a prolific actor.

Less focus on Georgey's calamities, which is good, they could have over egged the pudding as it were.

6.5/10.

Darts and Flowers
Prismark1026 September 2023
George the disastrous schoolboy relative is still around the Larkins household. It is left to Hetty Prout to stop him from committing further mayhem.

Meanwhile Ada is about to cause hell for Alf. It is their wedding anniversary and she expects something special from Alf.

Only Alf has got into a bit of a ruck with Vic (Victor Maddern) at the pub. He has made arrangements for a friendly darts match on Friday. Not realising that is the day of his wedding anniversary.

Alf now has to let Ada down gently or come up with a plausible excuse. On the night Old Charlie takes the place of Alf but his dart keeps hitting the walls instead of the dart board. Can Alf come to the rescue in time?

There seems to be some consistence with the fifth series, it is never going to be great.
