Mrs Featherstone's empty bed

Mrs Featherstone has a bit of empty space in her bed. She wonders if Granville might be inclined to fill the vacancy?

Featuring: David Jason (Granville) & Stephanie Cole (Mrs Featherstone).

Press

As the warm, milky sitcom sequel continues, knackered lothario Gastric (Tim Healy) is still having no luck with the grimly clenched Madge (Brigit Forsyth). David Jason's Granville concocts a plan that has comfortingly familiar comic elements - ladders, silly costumes - so nobody minds if it doesn't really make sense. Elsewhere, it's a torrent of produce-based innuendo, with leeks, custard and bacon rind pressed into
erotic service.
