8/10
An episode that showcases just how talented the cast were.

Things are tough at Grace Brothers, the weather is bad and ideas are needed to boost trade. Mr Rumbold decides to hold a team meeting and sieve through the ideas in the suggestion box, naturally most of the ideas are useless, but Mrs Slocombe suggests 'a feel of the twenties,' and a deep voice announcing special offers, the team compete to voice the announcements, but of course the decision is Mr Grace's.

Mr Humphries seems to be becoming more prominent, funnier and more outrageous, we get to hear about 'Roger.' Watch out for a very brief appearance from Hi De Hi legend Felix Bowness, who plays the chap looking for the Gents toilet.

I wouldn't say it's the funniest ever episode, but what it did, was to allow every actor to showcase their talents with tongue twisting dialogue, singing, dancing, what a talented bunch they were. 8/10

New Look - in more ways than one.

Warning: Spoilers
A decent if unspectacular episode to round off S3.

After this point the plots in the show would become bigger, with perhaps less focus oddly on the customers themselves. The bickering between the ladies and the gentlemen departments about sharing the space would also be fazed out.

More screen time by this point is starting to be given to Mr Humprhies, and this of course would continue. We would also say goodbye to Mr Mash, which is a shame because he was given a fair bit to do.

Changes a plenty but the show would start to hit its peak from S4 to S6.
