Although I was not particularly keen on the marriage of Rodney to Cassandra, feeling that this took the series away from its original premise, which was a comedy about 3 men of different generations sharing the same flat. This feature length Christmas special continues the high standards set by series 6, broadcast earlier in 1989.
All the regulars of the Nags head, Del, Rodney, Albert, Trigger, Boycie, Mike, Trigger, Sid, and in his final appearance in the series, Jevons, decide to visit Margate for their annual summer outing. But events conspire against them, and when there coach blows up, they are all stranded in the seaside town for the night. This episode has some great comedy moments, the coach explosion, Rodney accidentally kicking a ball into the face of a policeman, and Triggers excellent one liners. I would have given this five stars, but for the lack of extras on this DVD. Surely one of Britain's all time best comedies, deserves them.
