After coffee with Vera Poling, Eleanor decides she wants a video recorder, being short of funds, her only chance of acquiring one is to sell her antique silver teapot. Unfortunately her auctioneer tells her that the teapot is actually reproduction.
The episode aims to show the decline in class stigmas from Eleanor, through Sarah down to Clare. Eleanor immersed in snobbery, and getting one over Vera Poling.
Nice to see Vera's introduction, she allowed Eleanor to be even more sharp tongued, Fanny Rowe was good here, but perhaps a bit too equal in demeanor to Joan Sanderson, I preferred Peggy Anne Wood's softer interpretation.
Joan Sanderson again steals the show, and proves to be the cornerstone of the show. Her snobbery and social jostling is the best element of the episode. 6/10
