Quotes
[first lines]
Mrs. Avery: Isn't that a bit old-fashioned?
Nora Batty: The old ways are sometimes the best. Rug-beating is one of the older types of therapy. It's what housewives had to make do with before nervous breakdowns were invented.

A Hair of the Blonde That Bit You

I like the way Nora Batty and Mrs Avery have a rivalry when it comes to domestics.

While Nora batters a rug, Mrs Avery hoovers it but the extension is not long enough. Compo's house has never been so clean.

Unfortunately Howard can only wish he remained spotless. There is a long stray blond hair on his person. Pearl knows he has been out with Marina.

Luckily Tom comes up with an alibi with help of a blond brassy barmaid in the pub.

Tom has also been fixing clocks. Now Truly and Clegg are left with clocks with loud chimes.

The stuntmen are kept busy on this one. Billy Hardcastle in his Robin Hood hat distracts Barry while he is out driving. Trying to pull Smiler's cart leaves Barry in Marina's clutches. Howard has a fall courtesy of Pearl not believing him.

I do wonder how does Smiler manage to drag that cart into the middle of the Yorkshire Dales? More importantly why?
