Ahhh, that's one of the special episodes I never viewed.

For me, it was Eva. Her character didn't fit the show at all.

What character did he play?

I grew to appreciate Blamire more over the years. His less cordial interactions with the ladies, Howard, Smiler, etc. could have been good as well.

Richard is my favorite from KUA, being put in all kinds of awkward situations!

When it comes to comedies, I often like annoying characters. Penny, Jean, and KUA's Hyacinth can all be considered annoying. But that is part of the comedy.

At this point, you've met Penny and Stephen. My favorite episodes are the ones with them. A lot of people get irritated by some of Jean's characteristics, such as nosiness.

I've seen the clip of the tree in the toilet and the wig in the bread loaf in One Foot in the Grave so far. :p

Ahhh. I don't know how I missed that.

That is definitely an isolated episode, one of those where they are still working out the characters. It's all uphill from there. Eventually, you will meet the wonderful and hilarious extended family on both sides.

This answer might be too obvious from the photo, but could it be the viewing of the side of the store?

As Time Goes By is wonderful. It is one of the most aired British comedies on American Public television. The characters, Lionel and Jean, develop a lot from the pilot episode and first series. My wife and I are very much a younger version of Lional and Jean (the characters they develop into...

Wonderful episode and one of many with just a brief scene from the Batty household. I always felt bad for the salesman.
