A game of Monopoly in the Fisher household turns into a blazing family row. Mr and Mrs.Fisher decide to go to the pub, leaving Billy alone with Barbara. Well, not quite, because his grandmother is there too, but Billy isn't concerned about her. He senses a golden opportunity to get his fiancée into bed.
Whilst Barbara is making tea, Billy throws a jug of milk over her skirt, and tells her to go upstairs and slip out of her wet garments. She does so, and Billy strips off too, even though he is bone dry.
Before Billy can have his evil way, however, his mother and family come home unexpectedly early...
Yes, well we've all been here, haven't we? This episode rings true with those of us who remember the golden days of courtship. Taking a girl out in those days was like driving a car with one foot on the accelerator and another on the brake!
Because 'Billy Liar' went out post-watershed on a Saturday night ( at least in its first season ), it was able to be a bit racier than most other sitcoms. No nudity as such, but we do get a fantasy sequence in which Billy imagines playing strip poker with Barbara, and gets her down to her underwear. Sally Watts is indeed a very well endowed young lady.
Funniest moment - a 'Star Trek' spoof in which Billy, as Captain Kirk, uses a phaser to zap his parents! Then Mr.Shadrack materialises as 'Mr.Spock'!
