Enjoyable stuff, as Gudgin brings a Mr Webster to Motley as a potential buyer. Sir George is furious and using the usual antics scares Webster away.
The other ghosts fall out with Sir George after he swears he'll continue driving buyers away until Gudgin agrees to live there himself.
Gudgin also has set up a croquet set on the lawn in readiness for a match between local charities. Sir George seems terrified of the sight of croquet and Bodkin remembers how croquet was a big part of Sir George's life, then suddenly when his sister died, the playing of croquet suddenly stopped.
The ghosts summon the spirit of Alexandra, the sister to keep Sir George in check, with disastrous results.
Also we have a duel with pistols between Fanny and George, as their disagreement over Motleys future boils over.
Joan Sanderson, a 70's tv actress usually playing battleaxe characters plays Alexandra. She was Mrs Richards in Fawlty Towers.
