Side-splittingly funny! Mrs. Raven's hypnotic powers take a comedic turn.

"Perfect"

This is an ABSOLUTE must see for those who are fans of this British series.

George is pronounced dead by Piers, and decides to remain dead to make his life as Thermoman easier. That is, until Piers and her parents decide that now that Janet is available she can marry Piers.

And the fun commences. All of the main characters have memorable moments.

I laugh until I cry each time I watch this episode!! It's a good workout for the upper abdominal muscles. Be sure to tape this episode so that you can watch the funeral scene again and again.moreless

This might possibly be my favorite My Hero episode of all time. It was so funny. It was good to see Mrs. Raven trying out something new with her hypnotherapy. The results she caused at the funeral are just to funny to express. What Stanley said was my favorite but I also liked when they all got up and did the YMCA when the word "four" was said.

George Sunday may be one of the funniest characters on TV. At the end of the episode when he was going on about his identical twin brother Shamus was funny. It was a lot of over acting and was a nice end to this episode.
