During an episode earlier this month, the pair bickered over a noise coming from their fireplace.

Mary was having none of Giles’ jokes, so much so that she told him she’d have him “sectioned” if he didn’t stop winding her up.

Following the moment, one viewer complained: “Baffles me that Giles and Mary are still together sometimes.”
