Very uncharacteristic episode of this (otherwise) great series, which is (as the other reviewer mentioned) largely overblown sequences of Budgie and Hazel rowing...over a dog (which becomes very repetitious) A lot of it feels rushed, un-finished and (at times) ad-libbed (but not necessarily in a good way)
This episode is made all the more worse by Charlie Endell being a (uncharacteristically) selfless 'soft-touch' with Budgie this time round...with little or no financial gain/agenda of his own.
But even running at 'half-strength' (so-to-speak) I still prefer it over the (deathly-dull) 'Fiddler On The Hoof' two-parter (from series one) or the overly comedic 'Jump-Up-Boys' and 'The Story So Far' episodes (from this series) Thankfully, the series got back on track in the following episodes (namely my favourite 'Twenty Four Thousand Ball Point Pens')
