Featured review
The Chuckle Brothers get caught up in a murder.
Mac and Murray were once comedy partners, after years of divisions they are forced back together by the pending marriage of their children. At a small gathering Mac is stabbed in the back, but survives, but tragedy strikes as Murray's agent Phil is found hanged. On the case is rookie cop Wiley, a bit wet it takes Jessica's skill to work out that Phil was murdered.
The acting chief Wiley is a buffoon, clearly not picked up a single book on detection or policing, thank goodness for JB. That moment when he says his mum will help, classic. The actor does a good job though, he makes him likable.
This episode gathers a lot of attention of course, as George Clooney is in it, looking handsome of course, but having little to do, other then looking serious. Buddy Hackett and Steve Lawrence are entertaining as Mac and Murray, I like their characters very much.
I wouldn't say it's an out and out classic, but it's very good, light entertainment. 8/10
