7/10
A funny episode, and a chance to camp it up.
Sleepin_Dragon16 September 2022
Stan and Jack are both irritated when they are selected as guinea pigs for the company's new, updated uniform.

It's another very strong installment in this wonderful third series, it's not my favourite of the run, in fact it's perhaps the weakest episode of the series, but it's still good, it's still funny, it's just that the standard in the other episodes was so high.

There are some funny scenes here, the scene where Stan and Jack parade their hideous uniforms is amusing, and the pair clearly enjoyed camping it up a little. The best scene has to be the hilarious moment where Blakey tries to stop Stan from getting Spaghetti Bolognese down his new suit. .

You have to agree, it's not the best uniform ever devised, it looks like something British Rail would have made their poor staff wear at the time.

7/10.

Warning: Spoilers
Stan and Jack are miffed that they have to act as guinea pigs to model new uniforms that are brought in to the depot. They duly try them on but the entire depot laugh at the first sight of them.

However, whilst having their dinner at a nearby cafe, Stan and Jack attract the attention of a couple of attractive young German girls, who believe that they are airline pilots...

Quite a funny episode, though not one of the very best in the bunch. The hoo-ha over taking Stan's measurements at breakfast does drag on a bit, though when the unveiling of the uniforms starts, that's when the fun starts.

Funniest bit - Blakey attempting to administer a serviette under Stan's chin whilst he is trying to eat his dinner!
