 In "The Kipper and the Corpse", the pampered shih-tzu dog of an elderly guest bites Polly and Manuel.As revenge, Polly laces the dog's sausages with black pepper and Tabasco sauce ("bangers à la bang"), making it ill.Despite her part-time employment (during meal times), Polly frequently is saddled with many other duties, including as manager in "The Germans" when Sybil and Basil are incapacitated.
