He's ginger isn't he.

Mr Grace has had an idea to try and boost sales, the herd instinct, to make a member of the staff pose as a customer and compliment the goods. Meanwhile Mrs Slocombe enters into parenthood.

It's a classic episode, with some terrific scenes and slick one liners. I felt the show started to go a little off the boil in the middle and later years, but Series five starts off with a classic.

The scene where Mrs Slocombe explains her happy news to Miss Brahms is a terrific scene, the look on the men's faces, an absolute joy. Some of the one liners are terrific, when Captain Peacock says to Miss Brahms you're supposed to be buying not selling.

Mr Grace's lesson on salesmanship is a delight, such a funny man, he was terrific in the part.

Classic. 9/10

Mrs. Slocombe Expects

Warning: Spoilers
An absolute joyful start to S5, with the original and perhaps best cast on top form, as Mr Grace tries to promote new ways of selling, and of course it all goes wrong.

I agree with the previous reviewer- the scene in the canteen when it is hinted Mrs Slocombe is pregnant is brilliant.

Great stuff.
