The Season Seven opener has Mr. Tebbs retire offscreen, leading to promotions for Mr. Humphries and Mr. Lucas.  A new junior in the gentlemen's department is needed, but the first candidate is extremely old and feeble, while the second is too queeny for Mr. Humphries.  The best man for the job seems to be Mr. Harry Goldberg (Alfie Bass, in a role that would last only through this season).  Everyone likes him, except for Captain Peacock, since Goldberg has some embarrassing wartime stories about Corporal Peacock.

Customer Morris Barry would be Mr. Eshton in the 1983 Jane Eyre miniseries. This time creator David Croft directed.
