Camping in has to be the best episode of the first series, and is a favourite overall. It is loaded with gags, and shows a very real closeness between the cast members, quite incredible when you think it's only four episodes in.

Every cast member has some hilarious lines, Mr Humphries in particular.

Hard to believe that transport issues like this could possibly happen in modern society, but back then it used to happen. It does make for a very funny scenario though.

Even the customers were hilarious in these early ones, I love the Scotsman, and the woman with the hat.

Classic. 10/10

The staff of Grace Brothers get to know each other better. Transport strikes means that the staff cannot get home.

So arrangements have been made for the staff to sleep inside the store for the night.

Camping gear is borrowed from the sports and outdoors department. There is strict separation for the men and women.

Mr Grainger observes that there needs to be some separation between some of the men as well.

Captain Peacock when he is not leering inside the women's tent discovers that there is no camp bed for him. Mrs Slocombe took his tent.

Enjoyable and amusing, especially at the beginning when Mr Lucas has to take the inside leg measurement of a Scotsman in a kilt.

I did think it was outlandish that none of the staff could had walked home. My sister who used to live in London once noted the chaos caused by an IRA bomb scare in the 90s. Transport options had shut down. She walked home in an hour, others just waited outside bus stops and tube stations.
