This episode is set in the 60s so it looks like they are going for period dress again. Ncuti has a bit of Richard Rowntree look about him.

This aired 30 years ago next month.
If that final episode being 30 years old doesnât make you feel old, then this will. If they did a remake using the same time difference, it would be set in the 90âs

Tbf a lot of Dickens stuff is dark and grimy.

Do you remember the first season? I really didnât until I sat to watch it a little while back and I was shocked at how different it was. And by different I mean really not very good.
Yeah I watched it a few years back and couldnât even understand what I watching. Itâs basically a student film. Was it meant to be funny? Its not clear.
Amazing that the proper seasons turned out so well.

Itâs definitely different, but I still enjoy it, just not on the same level as the âproperâ series.
The leap from Season 1 to Season 2 was phenomenal. Season 1 was awful. 2 one of the best things the BBC ever made. Bob.
season 3 with George is probably my favorite comedy of all time⌠it was perfectâŚi could recite everyline i thinkâŚi laugh even when i just think of some of the stuffâŚ
whats better, is you can somehow FEEL the amount of fun they had making itâŚnot in the usual SNL âlets all crack up onscreen to prove how funny this isâ crapâŚbut just the quirk in the odd smileâŚthat type of thing.

Agreed.
Season one wasnât very good at all.
Seasons 2, 3 & 4 were genius though.
Season 1 had its moments, and I donât think itâs nearly as bad as people say. The BBC clearly saw something in it.
I think Rowan Atkinson stepped away from the writing side, and Ben Elton came in for 2/3/4.

Itâs moment was âWhat is he like in bedâ delivered by John Broadbent with the weirdest accent in history.
Iâve just watched it this morning. Itâs been an absolute joy of a series and really made up for the last couple of TNG films which felt more like extended TV episodes.
Judging from the post credits scene, they are setting up for a new spin off. If they can keep the look and feel of this series Iâd be very happy.

Absolutely. Iâd have done it differently, (Hi Riker) but can live with this one IF they carry on with the same quality of writing. Swapping the chain of command is fine by be, new stories and all. There will be a lot of us looking forward to this season, quite a queue of us infact 
I want a mariachi band back though.
Half way through season 1. Theyâre certainly an interesting bunch. Hoping to see a Ferrari go backwards out of a window at some point. Love the scene in the first episode where the script writers wondered how to show exactly how rich they were. Well we could alwaysâŚâŚ.
Whilst not TV, will definitely make you feel old
