Oh dear god...

Bonelickers - sorry - Bonekickers.

Dude. What crack. Never have I laughed so hard.

Yes, I have just caught up via BBC iPlayer. And actually I really enjoyed this ep, mainly because I was drinking wine at the same time, and also because after the crashlanding of last week I had adjusted my sights so I was just waiting for the next moment of sheer redefining awfulness. And it was astonishing how this series continues to come up trumps in those stakes.

Though the autograph scene was entertaining.

I predict that although it gets savaged, this series will actually do okay in ratings due it being a trainwreck that people cannot turn off because they simply cannot believe the Beeb would persevere with something so abysmal. What are we thinking, three series maybe?

See, here's the dilemma. I know how annoying it is when folks watch a show every week and then do nothing but bitch about how awful it is and the pain they've endured as a result. It's frequently commented on that if a show makes you that miserable, why don't you do everyone a favour and just stop watching. That way you are saved the aggro, and those who want to just squee can just squee unfettered.

So, in that vein, I have decided that I will try and be more positive in my thoughts on this show. You can take it as read, until further notice, that I deem this show truly abysmal, an insult to my licence fee, and setting new standards when it comes to 'scraping the barrel' depths. HOWEVER, obviously something must keep me watching beyond the Train-wreck syndrome, so for this week:

x. Actually I missed most of it, due to the parents calling. Still I think I got the gist.
x. I am edging towards the main lady's boss dude being my favourite character. His prissiness amuses me.
x. Dolly is also pretty entertaining. Not to mention as he was flying along, splashing through water, long coat flapping, I suddenly got a horrible, inexplicable thought of 'Oh good god, it's like what would happen if Captain Harkness was allowed to get mortal, leave Defending the Earth to someone else, and live out the rest of his days indulging a childhood hobby, perving on anything that moved, and drinking his liver into submission'. I think that version of Jack would be happy. And yes, I would have Ianto and co around there somewhere :)
x. The music. It is actually rather good music, I don't think it's being used well as a soundtrack, but whoever composed it did do a nice job. Several of the tunes so far this series have been distinctly pleasant on the ear.

In other news I am still twitching over the promo for next week's Gladiators. Looks like it'll be English Rugby vs American Football all over again. Excellent =)
