Just for a laugh....

Billy and Ivy have ended up in court, we learn it's because a drunken Billy has done too much birthday celebrating, and lost a body that was all set for burial.

It's definitely a funny scenario, overall it's not perhaps my favourite episode of the show, but if definitely has some amusing moments. Ivy's outburst in Court is perhaps the funniest sequence.

If plays out well, and of course there's the unexpected twist with the coffin. I did like that moment where The Policeman spots the dubious behaviour, that was funny.

I did like the idea of Ivy becoming The British Undertakers' Association's first female president, you can imagine how she'd have behaved.

Thora Hird was terrific here as always, her delivery is effortless, a real comedy great.

6/10.
