This week's guests include Mr. and Mrs. Righteous Proletariat, Ken (Daniel Luke Zelman) and Eileen (Heather Gunn), as well as Mr. M.B.A. and Mrs. Happiness-is-a-BMW, Ted (Peter Ocko) and Lou (Nicole Galland). With such contrasting types in one place, something is rotten in the camp of Erpingham...
...most part, Raphael elicits terrific performances from his no-holds-barred cast. Becker, Ocko, and Galland are all wonderfully loony tune and daffy in their roles, hamming it up to the hilt yet without excess.

...Nicole Galland (Emma) and Brad Dalton (Jerry) also turn in fine performances as the deux et trois of the menage, though they are unable to shake an inability to project the midlife angst of English Big Chillers nearing the big four-oh. Eric Rosencrantz contributes a refreshing dose of Italo-campiness in his waiter cameo...
