I thought I’d better have a mini review as I have time this week:
Quite an odd episode: Some of the sketches I enjoyed the most ended up on the Red Button although I can maybe see why that was (the farce sketch is very long and bloody weird, in a good way). Take your Time was one of our favourites from the recording, helped by my recurring rage at those long-winded TV quiz shows where they stretch the questions out way too long and then make the contestants ‘show their workings’ when they just want to answer the bloody thing! But not on a space ship as far as I am aware. Unlike some people from the internet I’m still enjoying the Hennimore sketches as they have a certain charm and accidentally catching a few minutes of a genuine 1970s sitcom the other day (my brother was watching George & Mildred on DVD when we visited, he is like that) made me appreciate them even more. Same non-problem here with the Event being recurring again this year but maybe that’s because I’ve seen the whole set of those already (and am sounding like a dull bloody show-off). Some of the others this week were not for me but that’s the thing about the hit and miss comedy sketch show format. So to conclude: not one of the best nor one of the worst episodes ever.
That was your vague review, good night!

Being not from the UK, Prayer and a Pint has gone totally over my head. Is it in reference to something in particular? I can usually figure my way around strange UK stuff I don’t initially get, but this one has me stumped.

It’s kind of inspired by various peculiar English television shows that have appeared on Sundays over the last fewe decades, usually involving a man visiting places and crow-barring some religious elements to please the Christians. In my opinion anyway.
