Manuel central to the plot - doesn.t happen THAT often, in fact.


Rather like giving Vila his own ep. Or, for that matter, ANY of the girls!

Always fatal when Basil sees the Major as part of the solution

Again, that rarity - a fiasco where Basil isn't the source of the problem

There's many a slip 'tween grill and plate. Seriously, the 5-second rule rules.
