The Clampetts in London

This rocks and rolls, especially by the sixth season, creative writing and directing. Is there a wee touch of BENNY HILL here as well? Certified insane. All about Jed inheriting a castle in England. Also a clever way to change the scenery, and have a fun with the customs and traditions of another country, compared to the do's and don't's of Beverly Hills.

Buddy Atkinson wrote this episode, and at least 50 others, naturally putting Jethro (showing off his 6th grade education) in charge of the grande tour. Only he could confuse San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge for the London Bridge? He points to Alcatraz island and says its one of the British isles?? Positively amazing.

FINALLY they get to London. There's much built around doctor Granny in this story, her medical supplies impounded by customs. She even teams with BATMAN's Alan Napier (playing a chemist), who is reciting Shakespeare?

Classic one-liners; Jed receives 25 pounds of British money -- questioning how many dollar bills and coins equal 25 pounds? Laugh out loud stuff. I agree with the last reviewer, fresh and funny for a later season episode, directed by Joseph Depew, behind the show for most of its run. In fact, the British episodes have often been regarded by critics as among the best of the entire series.

Note, good chance this was inspired by the famous MUNSTERS movie (Munster, Go Home) which got the cast to England, only with a haunted castle.

Best of SEASON 6 EPISODE 2 remastered color. The first five seasons are on dvd. According to Amazon, Seasons 6 through 9 should be released by 2027 in blu ray. Thanks to METV for running the entire series for years.
