A wonderful Christmas special.

Tina's holiday off a lifetime turns into a nightmare when she arrives on board a fabulous cruise ship, with a few unexpected guests.

I absolutely adore this episode, I always thought it came earlier in the show's history, but it's very much later on in the series.

When I speak to people about this show, this is one of the episodes that people seem to remember, it is a very memorable plot, cruise ships were popular settings in the 90's, who will ever forget Hyacinth Bucket on a ship.

This is a very funny, very original episode, it's of course a bit quirky, but you can actually imagine this happening.

I adore Sandra Dickinson, and I adored Tina, this is her best episode, she's pretty much the central character here, events all happen around her, and she is the one providing many of the laughs.

Plenty of funny scenes throughout, I actually loved Jenny's scenes with Bette and Pearl, and of course the scene where The Captain gets his revenge.

Brilliant, 9/10.
