Sykes is struggling to play the housekeeper come cooker whilst Hattie is out at work, tired of being hen pecked, Hattie convinces him to get a job at The Factory, Sykes proves something of a perfectionist.
Very funny episode, it's an amusing setup, with some terrific physical comedy from Sykes, he really does get the chance to go to town with his physical antics, he is terrific here, it was obvious he was going to cause chaos in the factory. Sykes seemed to get repetitive strain injuries before it was a thing.
Definitely a few Carry on at your convenience vibes here, a sign of the times, and the powers that The Unions had.
Some good comedy acting here, two BBC comedy stalwarts were very good I thought, George A. Cooper and Felix Bowness. Jinmy Edwards was great as the stressed out factory boss, Graham Stark also.
There was of course some content that doesn't sit well with us today.
8/10.
