Ed (Channel 4 – Monday 18th Dec)
I’ve been telling you for the past few weeks what a great show this is. It’s now finished, so this will be the last time I write about it. I promise. Instead of giving you a review of the finale, here’s a scene from it which I think sums up why I think it’s so great:
Carol and Molly sitting in backroom of church doing Carol’s hair for the wedding.
Carol: “You have been an amazing, amazing Maid of Honour, but d’ya know what you’re gonna do even better?”
Molly: “What?”
Carol: “Be a bride.”
Molly: “Erk.”
Carol: “Come on! Come on, you know it’s gonna happen.”
Molly: “Yer….I know.”
(Knock on door)
Carol: “Aah, there they are.”
(Molly walks over to the door)
Molly: “Well, there are my little bridemaid lieutenants right now. ”
(Molly opens door)
Molly: “Come on in…”
(A guy is standing at the door)
(Soft background music starts up, setting the mood for what we think is going to happen)
Molly: “Hi!”
Guy: “Hi.”
Molly: “You’re not a bridesmaid!”
Guy: “I’m supposed to replace the radiator.”
(Pause)
Guy: “I’m sorry, I’ll come back later.”
Molly: “Um…er…er…I know this is gonna sound a little crazy but erm…”
(She looks back at Carol)
(Then looks back at the guy again)
Molly: “How would you like to go for a cup of coffee someday?”
(Camera cuts to the guy’s face and slowly zooms in – background music rises)
Guy: “I’m a homosexual.”
(Background music cuts out)
Molly: “OK! Have a nice day!”
(Guy walks off. Molly closes the door, walks back to Carol and sits down)
Carol and Molly both burst out laughing.
It hasn’t been the most entertaining week in Ramsay Street has it? I guess they are just building up to the plane crash storyline. (Come on, don’t tell me you didn’t look it up on the net! If you care about Neighbours you will have done!) Serena continued to be annoying as Connor’s far prettier/more mature/more intelligent ex Carmella came into town, Alex got engaged to Susan, and Ned won the Mr Erinsbourgh contest.
Legend of the week
Joe Mangel:
Who else would have dared to enter the male beauty pageant in those all too revealing shorts! Full marks to Lou for trying, but we really didn’t want to see him in his trunks now did we!
Tosser of the week
Still Alex Kinsky:
This time for stringing our beloved Susan along. Oh how I miss the Kennedy family, they were like parents to me.
Honourable mention
Goes to Janelle Timmins for her attempted dog-knapping to teach Joe a lesson. I love that woman, and as soon as Joe realises he should be with her, not Lynn ‘really pointless and stupid’ Scully, the better!
