#AreYouBeingServed? s6e1 (1978) - 5/10
Below average.
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.
The first half of the episode is basically plotless. It’s just the regulars returning from holiday, and recounting their misadventures.
After 14 minutes of this, a plot is hastily added. But it’s really just an excuse for silly costumes and wigs. Chuckles are thin on the ground.
My 297th TV episode of 2023. Averaging 2h17m of TV, per day.
