    There is an interesting shot in the opening titles, I do not think it has been used before.

    After going through episodes where Roy Clarke has been on autopilot, this one seems like a breath of fresh air.

    There are just little things like Wesley reminding me of his early appearance such as when he thought he found the Loxley Lozenge. Here Wesley is acting suspiciously dressed up like Humphrey Bogart. He is on a top secret mission building an amphibious vehicle.

    This means going to a scrapyard for parts, where they encounter someone familiar, Auntie Wainwright who patrols in on a bicycle. Make me wonder who is minding the shop?

    Eli has a bigger role here but I am sure Roy is taking the biscuit to have him behind a wheel driving a car!

    Usually Foggy volunteers to test the vehicle in water but chickens out leaving Compo to impress Nora.
