Very funny.

Bill has fitted nee kitchen units for Barbie, Joan wants the same. Eddie, Bill and Arthur all visit The Doctor, with the aim of getting a day off to watch a cup replay between West Ham and Manchester United. Joan gives Eddie a job, if he doesn't finish it, he can't go.

I wasn't a big fan of the previous episode, but this one was excellent, I really enjoyed it. As someone who has used every excuse under the sun to sneak off to the football, I can really sympathise with the gents here.

Poor Jacko, seeing him limping about with the old trouble, very funny.

Favourite line, What chores, Jacko replies with 'i'll 'ave 'arf,' it's brilliant.

Joan's face when she gets home and witnesses Eddie's handy work is so funny, Kate Williams faces are priceless.

I honestly can't decide which kitchen is the worst, they're both hideous. One's gaudy, one is wonky.

8/10.
