Both Dorothy and Robert are highly stressed, ahead of a visit from her dour, Scottish accountant, Mr Campbell. Dorothy has prepared her paperwork, Robert tries to wing it, one thing they hadn't planned for, Dorothy's relatives paying a visit.
Not a favourite episode, but not bad, some funny moments, some perhaps not quite so.
It's always been a comedy of stereotypes, English and American, here we get some Scottish ones thrown in too, we have the drunken football fans, and the grumpy, miserly Scrooge figure.
Not sure I bought the idea of Dorothy being related to the hooligan, but I did love that line about her home being invaded by Scotsmen, that was funny.
Prolific Scotsman Robert James is good fun as Campbell, he really was a grouch, you'd have thought he'd have been nicer to his employer. He had a long career, I will always adore his scatty scientist Lesterson, in Patrick Troughton's first episode, The Power of The Daleks.
Not as sharp as earlier episodes, but still bad some fun moments.
6/10.
