[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 183211, member: 23"] The second series - in colour if you please - was as enjoyable as the first and for all the same reasons. One peculiarity was Victor Spinetti's absence in one episode, where he was replaced by his brother or cousin played by Richard Davies. It wasn't jarring, but I did spend most of the episode thinking it was deliberately plotted this way and Vic was going to walk in halfway through the episode and have to clear up the mess made by his relative and Sid. The series was left open ended. Reading a little more about the series it seems it was popular but Sid James put the kibosh on further episodes, with the official line being that he was concerned about overexposure if he did an ongoing TV series in addition to his film and stage careers. The following year he began [I]Bless This House [/I]for Thames. An ongoing TV programme in which he was front and centre for six series over five years. [/QUOTE]
