One of my favourite episodes. It’s just like a salmon in a toilet 🙌 It’s amazing how much Selina Griffiths looks and sounds like her mum.

I've heard several actors who sound like their fathers, but I'd never heard an actress sound like her mother before.

I revisited the 1st tv series after a wee while and I have, since watching it previously, never laughed as much in my life. Dr 2, I'm afraid! 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

A friend and I are both fans and were at a museum soon after this episode. We asked an attendant about something and she replied "That's not my field of expertise, I'm afraid".
I hope we managed to get out of her earshot before we creased up laughing.
