Mr Lucas has the hots for Miss Brahms, and is desperate to ask her on a date, not allowed to go to the counter he jots his request on a note 'Dear sexy knickers I don't half fancy you' and throws it over, it goes unnoticed and Captain Peackock picks it up and hands it to Mrs Slocombe who in turn believes he's sent it to her. Lots of problems arise from the note, nobody knows who's sent it and who the intended recipient is, even poor Mr Grainger kops it from Mrs Slocombe.

It's a great episode, funnier then the pilot, it had a more naughty, much funnier tone. more 'shop' jokes in the earlier episodes which started to disappear in the later series. Funny customers too.

You can see Mr Lucas was initially pitched as the star of the show, I think they soon realised they were all equally as brilliant.

Love it. 8/10

The quintessential 'AYBS?' episode

Warning: Spoilers
If you only watched one episode of this sitcom then this would be a great one to watch, because it sums up the series perfectly, and is an example of it at its best.

Excellent stuff, with the passing of the note scene later being recycled in the feature film.

Dear Sexy Knickers...

Young Mr Lucas is short when it comes to sales. He is doing well trying to charm Miss Brahms.

Mr Humphries shows Mr Lucas the tricks of the trade when it comes to loosening fabric. Such as kneeing suit jackets to loosen the arms.

The same trick does not work with trousers. It leads to Mr Lucas getting a dressing down from Mr Rumbold.

Captain Peacock meanwhile gets a dressing down when Mr Lucas's note to Miss Brahms goes awry.

The main thrust of the episode is the mistaken identity regarding the author of the note addressed to Dear Sexy Knickers.

He could have found a much easier way to slip it in Miss Brahms. Rather a much copied plotline in 1970s sitcoms.

Much better was the mens department trying to sell ill fitting jacket and trousers to customers.
