Hi-De-Hi Marathon - Part 3

No Dogs Allowed, If Wet - In The Ballroom, Peggy's Big Chance, Lift Up Your Minds, On With The Motley, A Night Not To Remember, Sausages Or Limelight

The stories feature elements of an ongoing loose continuity but for the most part are all self-contained revolving around one major incident and one main character from the enesemble with the others either trying t make something happen or stop it from happening. Eg Jeff has to hide a pet dog in his chalet and everyone else thinks he's sleeping with the campers! Peggy impersonates a shark in a pool wheeze (with the assistance of most the other staff) and nearly drowns! Jeff tries to get the campers to listen to classical music with poor results. Ted gets the chance to move up with his career and everyone tries to help him succeed and Spike debates wether to get engaged or continue with his career as an entertainer. There's a lot of good character moments in the episodes that most TV shows these days wouldn't allow and they work for the benefit of the show, adding more depth to the characters makes the stories stronger, the laughs louder and the sadness more biting.
