Ralph Tanner is basically David Brent from #TheOffice. But 22 years earlier, and played by #RichardBriers instead of #RickyGervais.

3️⃣ #LallyBowers (#YoureOnlyYoungTwice) has a wonderful supporting role in this one, as a landlady who sees through Ralph’s bullshit. In the final minutes, when he is at his lowest, she is nice to him. And he lets his guard down. And we learn quite a lot of his background in a short exchange. It’s a strong payoff to the events of the episode.
