Touching and funny.

Sarah returns home from a fancy dress party to discover the house has been burgled. Clare is distraught to discover her prized father's watch has gone. Eleanor is quick to blame Sarah for the burglary, when it's in fact her bragging that caused it.

I think this is the best episode so far, we learn a bit more about the impact of Henry's death on the family, Clare upset at talk of her deceased father. We get some good humorous moments, including Eleanor's sarcastic confrontation with Vera, and her encounter with the burglar.

Amusing, and once again, it's all thanks to Joan Sanderson, but this one delivers more in the way of sensitivity, you connect more with the characters. 8/10

Security

Eleanor should have realised the dangers of loose lips.

Sarah's house is burgled twice. After the first time she installs a burglar alarm.

Then there is the issue of whether she has house insurance. It was always something her late husband arranged.

However a burglar alarm is no deterrent when someone keeps leaving the door unlocked.

As for poor Russell, you just knew he was going to have a sore head from Eleanor when he offered to pop round the house.

Well it's genteel as a comedy, the only clever bit was the barman at the pub listening in.

Bernard Holley who played the policeman was a regular in Z Cars.
