This episode has the lot, a great story, wonderful cast, and a script that is so funny, parts of it could have been lifted from Are you being served.
I loved the backdrop of the radio show, and John Henshaw was terrific as the temperamental radio host. The cast were a delight, some big sitcom names alongside He Shaw, namely Officer Crabtree, and Nurse Gladys Emanuelle, Arthur Bostrom was fabulous as the camp wannabe writer.
The crimes were clever, and the outcome wasn't the one I expected, but that part was almost secondary, the humour, sometimes overdone was truly side splitting. The house smelled of pussy, you can picture Mrs Slocombe delivering that to a rapturous applause.
A favourite. 9/10
