The Secret Birthday of Norman Clegg

[Babs]

The local PBS station has just shown one of my very favorite post-Compo episodes, The Secret Birthday of Norman Clegg. I really like this one, and I think it ranks up there as one of the classics. Anyone agree?

I haven't seen that one but I will keel an eye out for it.

Love this episode as well. Clegg has some of his best lines in this.

I love that all the men are in suits. They look so weird, especially Enwhistle.

Much agreed. I tend to really enjoy episodes where the characters all go to certain events, like weddings, etc.

As much as I like this episode, I personally don't think of it as one of the very best from the Truly years. Follow that Bottle, Lair of the Cat Creature, A Late Pick-Up of the Ming Dynasty, and In Which Howard Gets Double Booked are among my favorites.

I did enjoy the secret birthday ..... strange to see the men more formally attired.

......but the best part is the end with Clegg sneaking off!

Yes, that is the best bit. Nice to see him out of that plastic mac. Funny how they didn't know the wedding couple. .

 

[Norm]

Yes I agree its nice to see him without the mac, and sneaking off, he does it so well.

So Howard isn't the only one who hides in plain sight.

No. I think this was a darker Green. More subtle then that eye sore in Happy Birthday Robin Hood.
