OT Mrs. Slocombe

Mrs Slocombe's phrases...

"Weak as water, weak as WATER!"

IIRC, yes, the last episode of the VoD series is Hugo and Alice getting married. Geraldine has pulled) Hugo's uncle and annouces at the wedding party she is accepting a post to do "inner city missionary" work. Turns out the city is the same as where the uncle lives, or near enough the two can carry on.

VoD episodes

I would have to go back over the tape, but it seemed they
did not air Happy New Year or the Antiques Roadshow specials
during the latest airings and stopped after the Vicar in White.

Well, partially. It's Marie Elizabeth Jennifer Rachel Yiddell Abergavenny Slocombe (and, almost, Mataxsis, but she didn't marry the Greek fellow). The nickname "Betty" that's commonly used throughout the series comes from Elizabeth. It was revealed in the episode where the staff gave her a 50th birthday party (though she claimed she was not).
