Great opener for this fabulous traditional sitcom with its sterling cast. I love each and every episode, although "The Birthday Girl" episode was a little below par with a story which seemed faintly juvenile and dated even at the time. However, the acting and dialogue always comes to the rescue.

Fabulous final series of visits to the Paradise Lodge Superior Residence For Retired Gentlefolk. The standard is excellent and stand-out episodes for me have to be "Flora's Big Mistake" - terrific performances as always, and Cissie's unexpected manipulation of Flora's mistake and the consequences had me in stitches , "The Gypsy's Curse" - playing on superstitions and the power they exert - even over people like Flora, and "Breakfast At Peabody's" - brilliant - the mannequins, heads scene was inspired! This is a lovely traditional sitcom and I can watch and re-watch it - and re-watch it AGAIN - and still laugh!
