Is it Catching?
Season: 8
First Shown: 9 April 1981

Poor Mr. Humphries! He comes down sick with Marine's Disease while the staff is adjusting to the additions of Mr. Grossman and Mr. Spooner. Mr. Grossman challenges Mrs. Slocombe to sell shoes better than he can, and she ends up having to use the lift doors to realign her back! But back to Mr. Humphries...apparently the entire floor staff will have to be quarantined until Mr. Humphries recovers. Mr. Grace's idea: put them in antiseptic suits and then lock them in the basement! No one is happy with this turn of events, and the curry chicken for dinner and the one waterbed to sleep on does not make things any better. The staff finally gets settled on the waterbed, after a lot of fumbling and arranging, and might have a decent night sleep (provided Mrs. Slocombe does not get sea-sick) until Mr. Humphries starts to sneeze and sets the bed a-rocking!
