The ladies compete to be in a commercial
Sleepin_Dragon20 August 2015
Flora causes a scene at breakfast, as the ladies cereal bowls are mixed up, Dolly romanticises about her past career, and hopes for future work, but a spiteful Flora tells her she's past it. Flora takes a telegram to Dolly, in gleeful hope that it's bad news, but... it's good news, Dolly has a part, in a commercial. All the ladies wish to be discovered by Dolly's director, so pull out all the stops to look glam, except for Flora. The commercial is for bread, but Dolly is too glamorous, so a replacement must be found.

The rehearsal scenes with Flora and Cissie are hilarious, Flora's frustrations are worse then normal, Cissie drives her mad. As always Cissie has the last laugh, its the usual formula for the show, it worked, and they certainly stuck to it.

Another fun, well acted episode. 7/10

The Commercial
Prismark1015 August 2018
A late night showing of one of Dolly's old avantgarde movie on television leads her being offered a role in an advert for bread.

Dolly naturally dolls herself up only to be told she is too glamorous. The director is looking for a more homely type and Flora fits the bill. Flora obviously used a her loaf to appear dowdy as the others glammed up.

It takes a while for the episode to get going with Cissie feeding the bird with green jelly babies. Flora emptying corn flakes bowls before the discussion turns to Dolly's late night television appearance.
