If it is the one, it was painful to watch, because while you feel sorry for Richard in almost every episode, this one and the Rolls-Royce episode still are the worst. Hyacinth doesn't think there's enough time to get Richard's shoe (Hyacinth had made him wear bandage on one foot to give the impression, that he's got gout instead of athlete's foot), so he has to drive through town with a bare foot. But he can't reach the pedals properly, so the car ends up bumping its way over to Daisy's and Onslow's. So obviously, there wasn't time to get the shoe, but there was time to go through town looking like idiots! I guess it was supposed to be funny somehow, but it was so stupid, and even out of character for Hyacinth, who normally wouldn't have wanted to look like an idiot, that it rather made me cringe than laugh. And to make this episode even worse, Richard ended up hanging upside down in a latter, because he gets stuck with his bandage, and no one helps him get down! Okay, Daddy just came home, but Onslow could have helped Richard! I've only seen it once too, and I'm not looking forward to see it again.

I totally agree here! "Sea Fever" was good, but other than that, the special episodes aren't as good as the regular ones.
