Minor blooper spotted in this one as Arthur, Ray & Ron all return to the lockup. Hello hello, who's this hanging about in the reflecton?

Gave this a watch last night and could not remember anything about it from first time around.
Not a bad little episode, some lovely dialogue throughout this episode, I particularly liked the scene where Arthur speaks to Ron at his health food van and as soon as we hear about Ron's past life and what Arthur had planned it was only going to end in trouble.
Some other good moments when Arthur was left alone with the dog at the lock up and then the drunk who appeared, and the bit near the end when questioned by Morley about Ron and Rays predicament, was classic Arthur.
I struggled to place Simon Rouse initially, best known for playing Jack Meadows in The Bill. It must have been the hair which confused me.

A great few lines in this one: "Is this your car?" "Capitalist pig!" "God I hate capitalists. I'll drink your drink mind you, just don't expect me to like you!"  |

Lots of laugh out moments.Like the scene where Arthur finally figures out how to open a bottle of tonic water without a bottle opener.He also finds a standee of Rolf Harris and asks "Whatever happened to him?!"If only you knew Arthur,if only you knew.

Another good line I noticed was something about a decaffeinated tea leaf  |

Wasn’t there another blooper where the Kenneth Colley character looks directly into the camera after he installs the alarm system. This is around 10 minutes 40 seconds into the programme. I don’t know if it was deliberate unprofessionalism, but unless there is a scripted breaking of the fourth wall (unlikely as Ron the burglar is only a guest character). Weird scene. |

Morning All  Re watched today and although not a classic , the amount of good lines keeps its head above the average for me, I do like Arthur alone in the lock up scenes and makes me wonder if the Director just let him wonder about the scene and ad lib little bits ? ie.. finding the cardboard cut out of Rolf Harris singing Sundarise while wobbling it and then asking ' whatever happened to him ? must of gone back to the valleys" Arthur is never better than when he is trying to sell something , this time Burglar alarms " Do you know a house is burgled every Nine Minutes ? "Glad I don't live there" is the reply from Tariq the Video shop owner who later in the episode lends Arthur his Rottweiler "Sid" (as in Vicious) to guard the lock up Some good little scenes with Ron the burglar ( Kenneth Colley ) although as said his facial expressions of staring into the camera are a bit strange ! "Why I am spending so much time in Her majesties prison ? " ' Because you keep getting caught!" "I need to to set the burglar alarms Ron you being a ex Burglar, its the Game keeper principle Pratt to catch a mackrel " Good little side "bits" i particularly liked , while Arthur was on the phone in the lock up, in the background on the shelf in a box he had a DIY grow your own Mushroom Kit, Also when he looks for Disco's in the Yellow Pages and then rings the club to see if Ray is there ! and if i heard correctly when Morley shows Arthur the stolen Video player he calls it a " Sonopanic MK4 Video Recorder" ! One last item someone who is good at then and now shots... ( Felix ,  jno Swainy ), what is the Pub the coppers are waiting outside to make sure it shuts at 11 could only make out it was a Chef & Brewer Pub at the time Cheers |

I enjoyed this episode better than any of the previous 7 from this series. Fantastic GC facial expressions throughout the night in the warehouse, good dialogue throughout with Ron and a classic Arthur bullshit scene to squirm out of trouble at the police station. Overall a step up at last

Enjoyable watch yesterday, and as others have already quoted, some really funny moments. Loved the bit with the dog sneaking up on him as he was filling the water bowl.
I really wish comedy drama was as well written and acted today. Old to some people it might be but superior it definitely is!

A bit slower paced but one of the better Series Eight episodes. As has been noted there are lots of great lines throughout. Arthur explaining things to Morley is a standout scene. This time Arthur’s BS double talk actually makes some sense under the circumstances and could be true even though he’s actually lying through his teeth. 😄
