Hyacinth feels that it's time for Richard to return to work, but only in a senior executive position of course!

Laughs abound when Hyacinth feels that it's time for Richard to re-join the workforce. When she sees an advertisement in the paper for an executive position with a large local food company, she is determined that Richard will get the job and so, in true Hyacinth style, sets about making certain that he does.

Her sources tell her that the Managing Director of Frostickles Frozen Foods is a keen golfer and so, she believes that if Richard can show his prowess on the golf course by beating the gentleman in question, he will be bound to offer him the job. Trouble is, Richard hates golf and isn't at all keen. Not that a little problem like that will stop Hyacinth, of course!

Very funny and Patricia Routledge in particular is hilarious when Hyacinth deals with some thugs on the golf course.moreless
