Election time.

It's voting time at Sun Hill, and current Fed Rep Reg is up against the popular PC Stringer.

This was a light hearted episode, but unlike some of the more recent, softer edged episodes, this one was actually good fun, entertaining, and enjoyable.

You feel a little bit sorry for Reg, he took his role seriously, what'll he do without it?

Some elements felt as though they'd been lifted from Are you being Served, I seem to recall an episode there about the management doing away with the Elite dining room. That great scene where Brownlow and Conway are arguing, in an empty canteen.

Simon McBurney was great as Shaun, he played the geeky, quirky character very well, and was well matched up with Reg.

I'm not normally such a fan of the fun episodes, but this was great, 9/10.
