Funnily enough, have literally (i.e. 10 min ago) put down RMF having read the bathroom scene.
I think the line 'I suppose it was the way she said it - as if we were bound to think it was hopeless' is quite telling - we're already slightly prejudiced against them.
As above, I do feel a bit sorry for Edwin - starting married life with his in-laws and he's obviously not much of a 'people person' - while I don't think Peter totally deserved to be slashed across the face, I do think he was asking for it - although Edwin, as the adult, should have been able to restrain himself a bit better!
But I like Chas and Nicker-Nacker's relationship with him - Fob I could do without though...
