Pie in the Sky: Difference between revisions

* [[I Never Said It Was Poison]]: When Crabbe is under suspicion of having been bribed by Hooperman to let him get away, the real culprit reveals himself in this manner.

* [[Interrogation By Vandalism]]: In "A Matter of Taste", Margaret Crabbe is locked up in a cellar after stumbling on a conspiracy to smuggle vintage wines. She proceeds to gain her freedom by breaking the wine collection.

** An amusing near-miss: In the episode "An Innocent Man", the DCI hounding the innocent man of the title is played by Robert Glenister, the real-life brother of [[Life On Mars|DCI Gene Hunt]].

* [[My Car Hates Me]]: The kidnapping victim in "Passion Fruit Fool" makes a very creditable escape attempt, right up to the point where she tries to drive off in her abductor's car, which turns out to be an Alleged Car that won't start unless you turn the key just right.

* [[Obstructive Bureaucrat]]: In "A Matter of Taste", the restaurant is beset by one from the local planning office.

* [[The Unfavourite]]: In the episode with the work experience student, he's the un-favourite of his family.

* [[Unsatisfiable Customer]]: In "An Innocent Man", which showcases some of the restaurant's regular customers, there's a man who puts on wine-snob airs and ''always'' finds a reason to reject the first bottle of wine recommended to him by the waiter. By the end of the episode, he's been banned from the restaurant.

{{quote| "... something in the eyes ... that strange mixture of complete stupidity and naked ambition. I think I'll call you 'Fisher'."}}

* [[Wicked Cultured]]: Dudley Hooperman, Crabbe's opponent at the beginning of the series, is suave, well-dressed, and as big a foodie as Crabbe is.
