I'll look forward to it. This deserves to be shown during prime time. They could run it in the early Saturday evening slot that The Mallorca Files is currently occupying. |

.. featuring Vic Reeves and Ted Robbins.
I don't why but I was convinced Ted had died a couple of years ago. I remember being gutted when I heard about it. Strange. Glad to see he's fine.
Enjoyable episode as always.

Enjoyable episode as always. I went through the whole episode going, “That can’t be him, he’s dead!” I think I confused him with Paul Shane - maybe you did, too. i could quite easily see Vic Reeves returning occasionally in future episodes. |

I thought he was dead as well. I remember his sister being really upset.

A Google search says he had a massive heart attack and almost died on stage a couple of years ago.. Maybe he was reported as having died.
Apparently he's an uncle to Emily Atack (I don't know who that is), and a cousin of Paul McCartney.

I am only two minutes in but...... when being pursued down a lane by a high speed tractor, lol, why not jump out of its way onto the verge or into the next field? Don't run in front and fall over in its path. I often wonder this when people try to outrun cars in crime shows whilst trying to avoid being run over. Bonkers.

I thought that too! - he had plenty of room and time to just dodge off to one side.

For a few, scary moments I thought Sebastian was leaving!
That aside, did anyone else wonder at Frank’s line to Rammy the maths teacher: “See you next Tuesday”? Surely not a coincidence.

Me too! I thought he was being written out, and there'd be a new character in series 4.
I thought that was just an everyday response - Rammy had just replied "Come back on Tuesday" to Frank's invented excuse that he was there to discuss A-Level options for his fictitious kids. Am I missing something deeper?

Love this series - it is great fun and the scenery is stunning.
But am I alone in worrying about Mark Benton's weight? He is a good actor and by all accounts a nice guy, but unless he was wearing padding he really needs to get a bit more healthy.

Am I missing something deeper? How to put this delicately? “See you next Tuesday” is a euphemism for the C word. It may be American, I suppose. |

Anymore to come?
