#AreYouBeingServed? s6e3 (1978) - 7/10
More story than usual; funny.
1️⃣ Mrs. Slocombe is getting married! But it all goes awry (when the man’s wife objects!) and the gang have to stage a fake wedding (to cover expenses).
2️⃣ It’s all very silly. (Very, very silly.) But it gets the gang into costumes and allows for some of them to put on accents (as it’s a Greek wedding). #JamesHayter is surprisingly funny as Mr. Tebbs. #MollieSugden is a pure delight.

#AreYouBeingServed? s6e1 (1978) - 5/10
Below average.
1️⃣ 18 months after the end of series 5, the show returns with #JamesHayter replacing #ArthurBrough (who had passed away). His fussy character fails to make much of an impression. He’ll only appear 5 more times after this.
2️⃣ The first half of the episode is basically plotless. It’s just the regulars returning from holiday, and recounting their misadventures.
