Rory McGrath is definitely one of the more undeserving "winners" of Series One.  And Jonathan Pryce makes less of an impression on his return.  Even Tony isn't at his best, although he does get some, yes, outrageous moments.  A later Clive would never have chosen "pornography" as a topic with Tony around!  But it's what John does with the topic, as three distinct Bilko actors/characters (Phil Silvers as Bilko, Harvey Lembeck as Barbella, and I think Paul Ford as Col. Hall) that makes the episode worth tuning in.
