After watching all of them now, I can only say I'm disappointed. They've done the classic sitcom mistake of taking the character out of the situation we know and love him in and put him in another, which just doesn't provide the same kind of surreal, absurd, comedic situations of Toast of London.
In my mind, this episode always cemented Randy's new status as a great, important character in the show. Toilet humour is right up my alley, so this hits my brown paydirt sweetly.
"If you can't keep it in your trousers, Phil, I can't keep you in this job..."
Just watched this. Really really good. Great leads, great visuals, great concept and execution. I get the feeling that many different endings and scenes were filmed for the last 30 minutes or so, as I felt the film could have veered off in so many darker ways. Nonetheless, it was thoroughly satisfying the route they took with the story.
The character Mr. Pitt don't half look like Alexis Taylor from Hot Chip.
Hang on... Roz isn't pregnant in opening scene? Where's bump gone??
So obviously not filmed in England... but otherwise, OK.
Weak premise. No one would deliberate that long on a question like that. A 30 second answer stretched out over 22 minutes. Boring.
Not bothered about this. Farce ain't funny.
Niles' jealousy at Frederick's relationship with Daphne was laugh out loud funny, even with the heavy manflu I was suffering with today!
Never mind the plot holes, in this episode you hear “Policy of Truth” by Depeche Mode in the background, but this wasn’t released until March 1990 and the episode takes place in October 1989!
Dey turk r jerrrrrrrrbbsss!! Spent a good year saying this to my work colleague day in day out. :joy:
Mike Skinner (The Streets) looks absolutely mashed on this.
As a single father of a 10 year old daughter, this was brutal to watch. Absolutely brutal. Immaculately crafted, but so painful as a parent to watch.
Awful clunky edits in this episode.
New opening titles! How very snazzy, and, er, red.
