lonelybritYou know, that was actually incredibly good, completely bonkers, fun. If they had just done a one-off 'drama' comprising of this finale plus a few odds and ends thrown in from the previous eps, they'd have done okay. As a one-off, the Bonelickers concept works.
God that was hysterically funny and utterly shite in way only true crack can be.
That said, yes, there was an issue raised at the end of the last ep that I am, boringly, unable to take too lightly. And actually they did alright on that front, they even made me briefly take the side of their main female lead. The impossible was achieved when Magwilde flared up, asking just why she would trust Viv-whatsit. I have to say I was utterly with her, if the family had tried sneaking in like that I'd have strung them up from the rafters, and visa-virce.
Second point. 'No, my mother was a wonderful woman who adopted an unwanted baby.' The number of times I've had to endure crap programmes where the child just 'knows' that this one woman is special and obviously their real mother *vomit* Viv's declaration was a brief moment of sanity that I appreciated.
But enough of this seriousness...
My argument for Dolly being in fact a mortal Captain Jack has not yet been disproved. The cracked AU in my brain is a lovely place, believe you me :) I cannot begin to go into the insane brilliance of these uber!villains who pop up out of nowhere and vanish in the same way, yet again the utter destruction of centuries worth of mythology, the 'lady of the lake' shot, that poor bloke from Hotel Babylon who is yet another example of some poor brilliant actor who was duped into appearing in this circus, seeing everyone trying so hard to make their utterly unbelievable speeches at least sound vaguely profound, and, oh I can't go on.
Though, yes I can. Untold slashy love in the flashbacks. With bad wigs. Plus Magwilde's boss finally getting to shine *pets him*
Cracktastic. But, please Mr BBC, do not bring this back again.
