Strong Stuff This Insurance

Great stuff. A really good example of the show at its best, even after a few cast changes.

The ballet sequence, the men undressing for their physical - latter episodes would have loved to have one hilarious scene, this episode has two!

Great to see Trevor Bannister having so much to do too. Mike Berry did his best with limited material, but they really did miss Bannister after this series.

Features some classic sequences.

Mr Grace has an generous insurance scheme for the staff at Grace Brothers, the amount each gets depends on time left to serve, and a medical.

The team call on the help of a ballet dancer, in the form of Amanda Barrie, who clearly has had some form of dance training considering her moves. Mollie steals that scene in her outfit, but what makes this so funny is the medical scene, from the men undressing to incredibly funny scene where the staff are sat outside Mr Grace's Office and misunderstand what's going on.

The show is getting on a bit now, in its seventh series, and the magic is still there.

The big chest, once used by a lot of soldiers, and there's rising damp in the bottom. Genius.

It's wonderful, 10/10
