8/10
A very amusing episode.
Sleepin_Dragon14 October 2021
An old flame of Alvin's, the glamorous and amorous Eva plays her part in a plot to wind Howard up somewhat.

I found this very, very funny, I really did enjoy it, silly and daft of course, with Howard once again central to the funny stuff. They really did know who was going to provide the laughs, and as always, Fyfe does not disappoint, the scenes of him squirming in the chair, and breezing past Marina are very funny.

Shirley Anne Field adds some real glamour and star quality, initially I thought she was miscast, somewhat too glamorous, but she's a marvellous actress, she plays the part to perfection. I cannot help but wonder how on Earth they got her to appear, and why she did it.

For a later episode, this was very funny, 8/10.

Eva's Back in Town
Prismark1013 March 2020
Shirley Anne Field gets typecast again. She plays the sexy Eva, an old friend of Alvin who looks up on him now her husband has died.

Howard is worried about life being dull and the lack of magic in his life. He wants more excitement.

His friends decide to play a prank on him by giving him an encounter with a mysterious female. When Pearl is sprucing herself up, Howard tells her that it is too late.

Eva reminds Howard of a night of madness which he has no recollection of.

A more amusing episode with Howard as the fall guy and Robert Fyfe plays it to the hilt.

A wonderful turn from Shirley Anne Field, she just oozes star quality. When Eva puts her lingerie to dry on the washing line. She tells Alvin she does not wear it anymore, it's just bait.
