Rod McPhee, The Mirror, 24th December 2015Radio Times review
Kathy bemoans being "one more bad relationship away from owning 50 cats", but when a stranger makes eyes at her and the ladies in the pub, to everyone's shock, he's ogling Agnes. Mammy still has her "needs" and says, "Even a ripe banana likes to be squeezed." But is her admirer William (Robert Bathurst, who played Edith's drippy suitor in Downton) just a shade too ardent?
A lot more fun than the Christmas edition, this has laugh-out-loud lines, a smutty spin on the words "yoyo" and "scuttle" and great physical comedy from Brendan O'Carroll, as Agnes seeks advice on amorous matters from her GP and the vicar.
