Sporting an eyepatch ( following an accident involving a door ), Peter goes to the pub where the regulars make fun of him. He meets 'Barry' ( Alun Armstrong ) who is having an affair and is terrified of his wife finding out. When 'Sandra' ( Janet Key ), the other woman, and 'Marion' ( Pauline Munro ) show up at the same time, Peter gallantly pretends to be Sandra's boyfriend, which leads to problems later on when Sheila gets a phone call from Sandra, thanking him for a lift.
There is more than a touch of British stage farce about this episode with characters telling lies and having to tell more lies to try and cover up for them. Jason gets some good moments, such as him trying to remain cool whilst trying to think of a way out of his predicament. Richard Wilson is 'Superintendent Redway', Sandra's husband. He turns up at the Barnes' house, thinking he is having an affair with her. Just before the end, a milkman ( Ron Riley ) shows up and it is implied he is having a fling with Sheila. Not an outstanding episode then, but watchable if you like farce
Funniest moment - Peter is exiled from the bedroom and forced to sleep downstairs on a sofa bed, leading to some welcome visual comedy.
