In the sixth episode of the "Honeymooners Trip to Europe" story arc, the Kramdens and the Nortons arrive in London, the latest leg of the vacation that Ralph has won in a Flakey Wakey Cereal slogan contest. Invited to appear in a Flakey Wakey commercial on the British variety series The Gaylord Farquard Show, Ralph insists upon producing, writing, and directing the ad himself. He then casts himself and his wife Alice (Sheila MacRae) as "Lord and Lady Chumly Farthing-Gay," with his pal Ed Norton as the butler and Ed's wife Trixie (Jane Kean) as the maid. Not surprisingly, the appearance proves to be a disaster, thanks in no small part to Ralph's own ever-expanding ego and Ed's characteristic ineptitude. Louis Nye appears as Gaylord Farquard and Robert Coote plays TV executive Charles Lewis, while future Mr. Belvedere star Christopher Hewitt is seen briefly as a mealy-mouthed London pedestrian. This time around, Lyn Duddy and Jerry Bresler have contributed three songs, including the deathless "Everything Stops for Tea." A full-color remake of a Honeymooners sketch that originally aired live on March 9, 1957, "The Honeymooners in England" was telecast November 12, 1966, as an episode of The Jackie Gleason Show. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
