TB, consumption, not something that's common place nowadays, and not a natural topic for a sitcom, but of course the pair make it funny.

Harold, convinced his father has a problem with his lungs, so the pair go for a check, a mix up of course brings out the worst in one another. The look on Albert's face when he realises the mail has been mixed up is hilarious, as is the scene where the pair sit down for a meal.

It's not a classic, but has some laughs.

It is no surprise that Albert has been coughing a lot. Harold figures out how many miles of cigarettes he must have smoked over his lifetime.

Both Harold and Albert have to go to hospital for X-rays to check whether they have tuberculosis. When they clock the first nurse, she definitely has TB (Two Beauties.)

The results prove disastrous for Albert until he realises that the names have been mixed up and it might be Harold who might have TB.

Albert starts to disinfect anything that Harold has touched while Harold gets all maudlin. He has even written a will where most of his estate will go to Albert with a small legacy to Harold Wilson and the Labour Party.

This was a fun episode. Once Albert got worried that he might be ill and Harold keeps telling him not to worry, you can guess there would be a switch. It was nice to to see Harold going over the top that he only has a matter of days to live while Albert suddenly takes a sudden interest in hygiene.
