A Comedy On This Day: In Loving Memory - Cash and Carry (30 January 1984)


 There's a fine line between gentle comedy and simply not being funny, and I'm not sure that this episode falls on the right side of it. The plot in itself is quite interesting, though - undertakers who have been diddled by a customer on her deathbed try to make sense of her legacy - and could make a diverting half-hour play if unencumbered by comedy performances. Still, the generous amount of OB footage on those intensely steep streets is always worth watching - the type of location that makes me start to idly daydream about walking around the place.
