Trivia
At the breakfast table Jeff calls Eddie a Quisling, this is a term means a citizen or politician of an occupied country who collaborates with an enemy occupying force, a Traitor. The word originates from the surname of the Norwegian war-time leader Vidkun Quisling, who headed a Nazi collaborationist regime during World War II.

Alf wins a prize.

Ada isn't happy with Alf and Jeff, who decided to take Eddie along to the recent meeting of The FLUIDS. Eddie hits the shandy hard, getting plastered in the process, there is some good news though, Alf wins a prize.

Perhaps the most amusing episode of series three so far, I liked the situation and the laughs. Again it does tend to rely on the innocence and sheer naivety of poor Eddie.

It's good to see The FLUIDS back, it's been quite a while since we last saw them, now plus one. They had a pretty good idea with them, it's a shame we didn't see them more often.

There are a few amusing moments, Ada getting her own back is fun, the scene at The Police Station is perhaps the highlight.

Colin Douglas was rather good as the stern faced Sergeant.

7/10.
