It's amusing, great to see Henry McGee.

Goff Helliwell has decided that he's going to die next Tuesday. Truly, Clegg and Billy decide to cheer him up in their own style.

It's a very easy to watch, amusing episode, some nice light humour, and lots of favourites on show.

It is driving me nuts how they are stretching out the scenes between Tom and The Repo man, they have really milked the last drop.

It's always wonderful to see comedy star Henry McGee, he is great as Goff, who could forget his time.on The Benny Hill show?

Howard and his ladder are pure gold, bless him, he's just wonderful to watch. Thora Hird's scene inside the greengrocers is a very funny moment, nice to see her in a scene outside of her home. They had many laughs over the years about Edie's driving.

6/10.

The Miraculous Curing of Old Goff Helliwell
Prismark1028 October 2020
Legendary straight man Henry McGee slightly over eggs his Yorkshire accent as the stubborn Goff Helliwell.

Goff decides he will die next tuesday. Clegg, Truly and Billy go to pay their last respects and decide that maybe meeting Marina might perk up old Goff.

Lucky Howard is going around with a ladder which would allow to Marina climb through Goff's bedroom window.

Well it turns out that Goff is also Barry's godfather. This caused consternation with Glenda who thinks Goff is the Godfather.

The Glenda bit was silly. Much better was Nora Batty who would let no man pass without donating to her charity box.

There was some nice scenes set in the town centre with the two policeman interacting with Barry over his mother in law's parking. I do not think those shots of the town have even been shown before.

Sadly it was obvious that Thora Hird's scenes in the shop had her sitting in a wheelchair and a body double was used as she walked out of the shop.
