8/10

A fine second episode.

The new Vicar has arrived, Hyacinth plans an afternoon of tea and light refreshments, but her plans are jeopardised when a heart broken Rose arrives, and takes a shine to him.

It's perhaps not the raucous funny standard of the first episode, but it is still a very, very funny episode, everyone has found their feet, Richard is the eternally hen pecked husband.

Routledge is awesome, Hyacinth at her very best, it's all in the eyes.

Lots happening here, it's the first time we get to see The new Vicar and his wife, we see The Royal Doulton tea set with the hand painted periwinkles, and we get to learn a little more about the son, Sheridan.

8/10.
