A Duty Free Christmas
Prismark105 January 2021
A Christmas special that also served as the last edition of Duty Free.

Unlike the rest of the show. This special was shot on film and on location in Spain, not a studio in Leeds.

David and Amy have returned to Spain and this time in a more upmarket hotel. He persuades Amy to stay on further for Christmas.

Coincidentally Linda and Robert are staying at the same hotel. Robert does not want to celebrate Christmas as his mother died on Christmas day the year before.

LIke the rest of the series. The episode is basically David trying to spend time with Linda while Amy is rightly suspicious. It is obvious David and Linda set up to be at the same hotel at the same time.

David has James Bond type reveries or just thinking he is the Milk Tray man. It was there to pad out the episode.

The centrepiece is Amy throws a part for fellow guests in their room but the guests prefer to be at the party thrown by the aristocratic Stoneleigh-Jackson's.

The only surprise was Robert finally showing his softer and tender side but it is to Amy after the party. It would had been a better ending if both of them run away together and left their insufferable spouses behind.
