8/10
One of the show's funniest episodes.
Sleepin_Dragon5 June 2022
Eli is trying to sell the business to property developer Leonard Longbottom, the snag being that he needs to convince Nellie to sell, neither are prepared for what happens, he falls in love with Nellie.

The funniest episode from series four, this was really, really funny, the restaurant scene perhaps one of the show's best moments.

Loaded with Nellie-isms, her play on words here is hilarious, particularly with Leonard's surname. We saw a really different side to her, sweet and flirtatious, and definitely able to sing.

Some of the one liners here, hilarious, slightly more daring humour, more along the carry on lines.

Very funny, a favourite, 8/10.

When Love Walks In
Prismark1011 September 2023
Eli is trying to sell the pickle factory to businessman Leonard Longbottom (Wensley Pithey.) The deal is almost done but Nellie needs to be on board. Especially as Leonard plans to turn the pickle factory into a shopping plaza.

Eli arranges a meeting between Nellie and Leonard Longbottom. He sells Nellie as something akin to Raquel Welch, with bits not all put together right.

Surprisingly for Eli, Leonard Longbottom falls for Nellie and the feeling is mutual.

Nellie has an inkling that Leonard Longbottom might want to propose to her. Only he has trouble as to how he would do it. Eli offers to play cupid at a meal in a fancy restaurant.

The funniest part was Eli putting words in Leonard's mouth from the next table and Nellie not catching on.
