Doing a full sixth series meant reviving the customary 'trapped in one place during real time' story usually reserved for the fourth or fifth episode. This time, the Meldrews are quite literally in the dark, with no electric lights and no power fans to cool them on a boiling summer's day.
Falling lampshades, ludicrous newspaper articles, caps that may have rather more than a cigarette burn in them and a horrendous scented candle are just some of the absurdities endured by Victor and Margaret during the opening 25 minutes inside the house, to say nothing of what Victor discovers in his car outside.
But these episodes are more famous for their bittersweet conclusions than others and this is no exception, an elderly neighbour concerned about the health of his wife leading to some painful memories being stirred for Margaret.
A much more satisfying conclusion to the self-contained episodes than 'Rearranging The Dust' would have been.
