Gloves off.

A body like mine is a very good episode, with some very funny moments, and some physically funny scenes.

If I'm honest, I have always thought this episode had a similar vibe to the previous, Food glorious food, in that Rigsby is challenged to a physical task, by Philip, and is naturally ill prepared for the task.

The laugh is, if you look closely at Rossiter, he appears to be in pretty good physical shape actually, he looks fit.

The funniest scenes, Rigsby walking in on Miss Jones whilst she's exercising, and secondly when Rigsby enters the boxing arena, it's a hilarious scene.

Great one liners, this is funny, 7/10.

A Body Like Mine

The irony of this episode is that two of the main stars died at a relatively young age of heart attacks. Leonard Rossiter was actually a keep fit fanatic and he was a top ranked amateur squash player.

Rigsby gets jealous when Miss Jones is impressed with Philip's physical strength as he manages to open a pickle jar. Something both he and Alan failed to do.

Rigsby recalls a story that he was a pretty good boxer in his youth, but for the war, who knows how things could had turned out.

Rigsby challenges Philip to a boxing match. The winner takes Miss Jones out. However Rigsby gets a shock when he finds out that Philip is no novice at boxing.

A very funny episode and I found myself chuckling several times. The best bit is when Rigsby enters the home made boxing ring.
