This is yet another episode from the eighth series of 'Frasier' that has a decent premise but ultimately ends up wasting it.
The writers do a good job in teaming Frasier and Niles up for the first time in a while. But the whole latter half of their story is rubbish, with the brothers coming across as obnoxious.
The Roz and Martin storyline is ok enough, but when you finish the episode you are left with a sense of "what a load of old nothing that was".
For whatever reason, 'Frasier' for me was really struggling at this point - unable to find decent plots of momentum. You can watch some of the earlier series and there's barely a dud episode in there. In Series eight finding a good one is a hard task indeed.
