'I thought it stopped in 1949...... rationing.'
Alan is worried about his dad's drinking habits, he's concerned that his old man is drinking too much, as well as driving.
Pretty funny this one, some funny themes, not ones you'd see on The BBC these days. Several laughs, I loved the scene where Alan was following his dad in the car, I'm not sure where that music came from, but that whole sequence was great. The scene in the club was hilarious, perhaps the best moment of the show so far.
It's amazing how of the time this episode is, we have Brian drinking and driving, and we have Alan telling The Police about how he used to batter him as a child.
Look out for Vicki Pepperdine in an early role, playing the PC.
Nice bit of free advertising for Bells and Perrier, that's a pretty fine mix.
Best so far, 8/10.
