Absolutely jaw-dropping.

When this series was first shown (three seasons from 1984 to 1986) I thought it was great.

About ten years after it finished I was really pleased to see some repeats coming up on satellite.

I watched the first part and by around halfway through my jaw was on the floor.

A talented cast flounders, completely at a loss as to how to bring any life or freshness to scripts that feel as though they've been sat on a shelf since the early sixties, when package holidays to Spain were a new idea (by the mid-eighties the novelty had pretty much worn off).

I can only think that this series got the green light on the back of Eric Chappell's success with 'Rising Damp' and 'Only When I Laugh'.

What on Earth I thought was good the first time around, I cannot imagine.
