Everything this show tried never to be.

Ricco agrees to help out and hide Enrico Milotti, an American mobster, who's decided to turn on his former colleagues. Milotti confides that former colleague Ponta wants him dead, Ricco cleverly hides him in plain sight.

No wonder The Italian authorities wanted to deport him, it's a wonder they didn't manage to get it done some years before.

It doesn't surprise me to see Kenneth Connor and Eric Pohlmann in this diabolical episode, were they both practising for Carry on Spying, that amusing comedy spoof did at least have a plot, this unfunny disaster didn't even have even the thinnest of plots.

Did they just give up, and decide to put out something just for the sake of it? I love Kenneth Connor, but he's appallingly cast here, he spends the whole time sending the whole thing up, he's more outrageous and over the top here than even Allo Allo, and sometimes there he was wild.

I'll be polite, but this is awful, the show's lowest point.

2/10.

The Man in the Royal Suite
Prismark109 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Milotti (Kenneth Connor) is a meek mild mannered dim witted man who claims to be an accountant.

He has been deported to Italy by the American authorities for being an undesirable criminal.

Only as soon as he landed in Italy, he was abducted by some goons under the orders of Ponta (Eric Pohlmann.) An American gangster also sent to Italy by the American authorities.

Milotti came across some information that Ponta is still running the show in America.

After having escaped from Ponta's goons, he goes to seek Ricco Poccari's help. He puts Milotti up in the Royal suite, be getting him to pass for a billionaire.

Connor plays Milotti very much like the hapless characters he played in the Carry Ons.

This is a weaker story. It really is a case of Ponta thinks that Pocarri is helping Milott. So he plans to abduct the billionaire in the royal suite in exchange for Milotti.

Little knowing that it's Milotti.
