A Royal swindle
Sleepin_Dragon18 August 2015
The first series has been very consistent, every episode has been fresh and different, and this is another funny example.

The Queen herself has upset Flora by not replying in person to a gift she'd sent, but it's soon announced that she's due to make a Royal visit. It's announced that one of the ladies is to present a bouquet. Suddenly they all start competing with each other to have the honour, and they don't mind what tactics are used.

Another really good fun episode, it's hard not to enjoy. A particularly funny episode. Flora's manipulation of Cissy is really funny in this one, the rehearsal is so funny.

Peggy is at her funniest in this one, she was such a funny battle axe. As always Pat Coombs has the last laugh.

The Royal Visit
Prismark1021 October 2016
The first series was made during the Queen's silver jubilee year and this episode gets into the spirit.

The Queen is due to make a royal visit to the retirement home and it is just a coincidence that Miss Milton has a cousin who works in the council who might had set things up.

All the ladies start competing with each other to have the honour of presenting the bouquet to the Queen. Flora as always fights dirty especially trying to manipulate Cissie as she is selected.

It is another one where Flora cajoles the simple minded Cissie to let her take the place instead. Cissie thinks she was picked as she is untouched but somehow she seems to come though very much in Miss Milton's insistence.
