Have you ever seen a fat Zebra?

Mrs Slocombe puts her name down for promotion, and when Mr Rumbold falls ill she gets her chance. Unfortunately she's tyrannical in the role, upsetting all bar Mr Humphries.

This seventh series truly was one of the best, they successfully explored all sorts of different avenues for the staff. It's reminiscent of Forward Mr Grainger, the episode where he took control

Is there a touch of Mrs Thatcher about her in this one? I've always thought so. We've had talk before of Miss Comlozi, here we get to meet her, she's great.

Brilliant. 10/10
