Spatz S2E2 (1991) - FULL EPISODE

Karen's Mother. It transpires that she who must be obeyed has, in turn, a she who must be obeyed of her very own, and the latter is rather keen that the former settles down and gets married. Meanwhile, TJ introduces the staff to his girlfriend, Julie, and the restaurant's new high-speed delivery service is launched. This episode was originally broadcast on Thursday, 10th January, 1991. I haven't mentioned the main cast changes from the first series yet. Sue Devaney doesn't return for this run, and I believe she never saw it as a long-term role anyway (having been drafted in at ultra-short notice to cover the unexpected departure of Sam Womack). She's replaced by Katy Murphy, an equally safe and reliable pair of hands who you'll also know from Mike and Angelo and plenty of other stuff. Much more mysterious, though, is the departure of Ling Tai. No-one seems to remember why she left, and even more baffling is that she evidently returned for this second run and appears in this very episode - she magically materialises as the group goes from inside to out around 9:16, and even has a line at 15:38 (though we don't see her face), but then that's it. Lily is neither seen nor mentioned again for the rest of Spatz. Can anyone reading this offer any sort of explanation at all? Please leave a comment if so - it's left us all scratching our heads and we'd love to solve it. As for the episode in general, the funniest moments for me are probably the 'When I was your age, I'd already been married twice' line, and the 'Nobody walks all over me' exchanges. Seeing Karen basically being reduced to a gibbering wreck offers a great contrast with what we're used to, and it's both funny and endearing in a way I don't think she'd been before. The reveal and subsequent misadventures of the delivery vehicle are a great 'B' plot, and that running gag of people getting a fright every time they walk into TJ's office is a great little touch that adds so much out of practically nothing. What's slightly surprising, though, is the way Karen ultimately comes clean despite all the heat being on TJ at that particular moment. Is that a rare display of sympathy? It's perfectly counterbalanced by her hilarious inability to utter the words "thank you" when she's never been more indebted to him. Of the guest stars, the title character is played by Helen Horton, who is sadly no longer with us. I've spoken about her before as she was in an episode each of T-Bag and Polterguests, and by my calculations she'd have been either 67 or 68 when this was made. I'm not sure how old Karen is supposed to be, but the maths of it just about works at a slight stretch. (Come to think of it, practically all of the regular cast members are of really ambiguous age, aren't they? In real life, Vas Blackwood is a year older than Jennifer Calvert.) Mrs Varicose-Veins-and-an-Ugly-Husband, meanwhile, is played by Elizabeth Stewart, who sadly passed away within a year of this being shown, with Spatz being the last of her roles. More famously, she was Lady Lucas in a 1980 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice. Julie, on the other hand, is played by Catherine Russell, who is probably best known now for being in hundreds of episodes of Holby City as Serena. Stay tuned for some CITV continuity at the start and end presented by Jeanne Downs and Scally, plus a complete ad break to give you that full retro flavour (and help me prove to YouTube that my channel isn't aimed at children, but rather at those who grew up back then). Also note the broadcasting cock-up right at the beginning as we come out of Danger Mouse - that's exactly how it was on the recording. Grateful thanks to Joe for lending me this tape.
