Haha Derek Jacobi makes another IN9 appearance. Lovely stuff.

Him and Shearsmith were brilliant in the latest episode.

Not sure about the twist and stuff but good fun all the same.

It was ok - not my favourite even though it was nicely done at the end.

The silence is deafening

I could see what S&P were trying to get at with the final episode. A dig at both Brexit "leavers" and "remainer's" in equal measures.

Don't think it quite worked personally but some funny moments as always.

Thought the old man with mild form of Tourette's was a tired TV trope to be honest.

Yeah, these last two episodes have been disappointing, personally. Four fairly strong episodes followed by a couple of duds. I hope this isn’t the shape of things to come.

My reaction to the episode is strongly negative and didn't want it to lead the discussion.

I asked a few posts ago for people's favourite episode..

I think the last one was by far the worst made to date.

Fitzy. · « **Reply #488 on:** June 17, 2021, 04:42:44 pm »

I couldn't get to grips with that final episode. I think I broadly 'got it' but possibly a little too indulgent.

Nitramdorf · « **Reply #489 on:** April 13, 2022, 07:14:36 pm »

New series on Wednesday the 20th on BBC2.

Buck Pete · « **Reply #490 on:** April 21, 2022, 09:53:12 pm »

Well I’m not sure I entirely got that.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #491 on:** April 21, 2022, 09:57:55 pm »

Forgot this was on and only spotted it with one minute to go...but just clocked I had it series linked so it’s recorded. Lovely stuff.

Yah that's it. Thanks.

Makes some sense now.

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #494 on:** April 22, 2022, 09:26:36 pm »

Thought it was good though not one I'd rush back to watch again.

Spoiler

Only thing I wasn't sure (presumably deliberately ambiguous) was whether the other 3 were supposed to have died too? The boatman said they were "on the other side" but not sure if he meant on the living side or the dead side given that they were heading for the dead side. Reece Shearsmith dying of exposure made sense given that he lay down and went to sleep but seems unlikely that the others would all conk it just because they fell in.

Think your analysis is spot on. Not actually listened to it myself but I read SP&RS actually confirm this on their podcast

Spoiler

The other 3 survived. I think it would have been clearer if the ferryman had said the other 3 were on the other side AFTER he had dropped Shearsmith off and took the coin

They did. It's a good podcast to clear things up.

Agreed - felt decent and I was intrigued but I wouldn't watch it again and I wouldn't like this episode to be someone's first foray into the show.

IgorBobbins · « **Reply #498 on:** April 26, 2022, 10:22:03 am »

It was…ok? For me, the standard dropped half way through last series and has continued over to this series too. More misses than hits recently. I’ll still watch every episode, though - because they’re still better than 99% of tv out there.

kaesarsosei · « **Reply #500 on:** April 29, 2022, 05:21:26 am »

Quite a risque episode this last one, but I thought it was better than the pedalo one.

Wild Romany Boy · « **Reply #501 on:** April 29, 2022, 11:50:18 am »

Really enjoyed that episode. Not up there with the absolute peak, but the absolute peak is so high that it stands on mountains.

Not a bad episode 2

Straight up shout to the Wicker Man basically.

Me too - think I need to watch it again (or just listen to their podcast so they can explain it to me

)

Much better than the first 2 episodes, though.

kaesarsosei · « **Reply #505 on:** May 13, 2022, 10:02:37 am »

Last night's episode heavily influenced by the Stephen King book "The Dark Half", and they made a nod to that during the episode. Best one of the season thus far for me.

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #506 on:** May 21, 2022, 08:10:49 pm »

Think the latest episode was by far the best in the season.

bradders1011 · « **Reply #509 on:** May 27, 2022, 03:11:18 pm »

I did guess (double s) the twist quite early on, but didn't see (double e) the epilogue coming.

Anyone else spend the episode listening to see if they missed him saying any double letters in the script?

Yes and I'm not sure if the 'off' was an error he pulled back or part of the script

The last two episodes have been excellent.

Been a fan of these two (and Gatiss/Dyson) since The Log first aired.

They are phenomenal performers and writers. The comic delivery is 2nd to none.

Wow just caught up with the last episode.

Very dark and pretty heartbreaking stuff.

Riquende · « **Reply #516 on:** June 23, 2022, 10:32:42 pm »

This has really stopped 'doing it' for me, to be honest. I can still appreciate their craft in putting these together, but I used to watch it for the comedy aspect and there's very little of that now, just endless dramatic pieces. I think this season I just about enjoyed some of the first episode, mostly Diane Morgan's bits, and then very little after that.

I agree to an extent - I haven't been absolutely wow'd by an episode for a long time, probably the "live" Halloween one was the last one. I'll keep watching though and the like of the Kid/nap one with Daniel Mays and Jason Isaacs was still good.

I agree with the general vibe but they're still one of the best things on telly. Kid/Nap was funny, and Merrily, Merrily.
