A painful problem for Captain Peacock.
Sleepin_Dragon16 February 2020
Captain Peacock is the subject of ridicule in the store, Mr Franco of the Sports department has broken a code and exposed an intimate secret about the Floorwalker.

It is one of the weaker entries in the strong seventh series, but it's still very good, and has some fine moments, the sniggering at tea time coffee over Captain Peacock's problem is very funny, the fight scene is also very funny. It exposes that Captain Peacock is all talk.

Wrestler Jackie Pallo is funny as Mr Franco, who's of course no worthy contender. Wrestling was quite big at the time, it plays on the popularity at the time.

Good fun. 7/10

Warning: Spoilers
Not one of the better episodes from a strong S7, with Captain Peacock ducking a challenge from someone from the Sports Department.

It has its moments, but relies far too heavily on John Inman's Mr Humphries to see it over the line.
