Hazell Meets the First Eleven
14 December 2019
Hazell has got some nice clobber on. Shoes from Bond Street. He aims to go up in the world.

When Gregory tells Hazell to forget any plans for a holiday. He ends up looking at social climber Jonathan Clayton. He claims to be a financier who is romancing 17 year old Sarah Courtney. When she turns 18 she will inherit a trust fund.

Her wealthy parents have hired Hazell as they think Clayton is more interested in their daughter's inheritance.

Hazell pretends to be a wealthy fruit and veg wide boy looking to invest money with Clayton. Hazell certainly discovers that Clayton has told a few fibs about himself, is a ladies man and has made a pile of cash. He genuinely seems to love Sarah but her mother has other ideas.

I am not sure Hazell works being upwardly mobile. That is Gregory's domain. I think the show does better when it is down and dirty in the back streets of Soho. This episode is basically one where not a lot happens but the upper classes do love a bit on the side.
