An episode of the 1991 office comedy.
Ralph ( Peter Davison ) is teed off because wife Ros ( Paula Wilcox ) keeps pestering him to buy a split-level grille for the kitchen. Not only would this be very expensive, but also pointless as all he gets for breakfast is toast and Sugar Balls breakfast cereal. Ralph has another problem to deal with - ex-school bully Reggie Parsons ( Paul Darrow ) is in the area on business, and appears to have done well for himself. Borrowing boss J. J. Morley's house while he is away, Ralph attempts to con Reggie into thinking it is his. All goes well until J. J. comes home unexpectedly early...
The original version of this episode ( part of the 1970's series 'The Squirrels' ) ) had Philip Madoc as 'Reggie'. Darrow is every bit as arrogant as 'Avon', his character in 'Blake's Seven'. Cindy Marshall-Day looks a lot like Wendy Richard of 'Are You Being Served?' fame. At the time of writing, 'Fiddlers Three' is commercially unavailable. I think it should be released along with 'Haggard', another Eric Chappell creation. Did I hear someone say it'll never come out? Well, it could happen. Far less remembered series such as 'Alcock And Gander' and 'Sadie, Its Cold Outside' got released, didn't they? 'Fiddlers Three' is a decent show, far better than the rubbish that's going out now.
Funniest moment - the final scene. Ralph claims £25 off the Sugar Balls Man. Recognising the voice, he pulls off the man's mask. It is Reggie! Oh how the mighty have fallen!
