This is definitely one of my favourite Last of the Summer Wine episodes. Anything that features a giant inflatable fat lady has to get at least 1 extra star in my book!
Beyond that side of things, this episode is, at least to me, insanely funny. It's absolutely full to the brim with comic ingenuity, and shines through with some of Last Wine's greatest moments. From the chaotic scene with Thora Hird as Edie on the railway line to the peaceful framing of the main trio sitting with their fat, inflatable friend it's hard to keep a straight face at any point.
The laughs just keep on coming until the credits roll and you realise you've just witnessed a piece of comic art.
10* - Absolutely Flawless!
