Well, I confess I am agog!

That's a similar moment to the one I was thinking of - but what I actually had in mind (also SPOILERS) was the very denouement of the series, wherein Bertie ruins the wedding and (essentially) every character from the series chases Bertie and around and out of the church and around and around, hollering and waving…

I tend to agree. And the less said about the fourth series, the better. Oddly, they still base most of it on actual Wodehouse, but the show itself as it progressed became increasingly… slapstick, heightened, and cartoony in a way. I still find plenty to enjoy in S2 and S3 of J&W, but the 4th series just… ugh. The…

It's a shame "The Cavalier Years" is being passed over, especially because of Fry's wonderful King Charles I… but also for the other appearance of Warren Clarke (which is not-so-much of a humorous role, but provides a further tie to this episode). Fry's enthusiastic, naive, curious, and empathetic turn as Charles is…

The only problem I have with Goes Forth (least fav even viz Season 1??!!!) is that the "cunning plans" and the simile-speak running gags start to feel tired. But it contains some of the best moments of the run so while it feels a little rinse/repeat in spots, other areas lift it up to be just as solid as 2 & 3, IMO.

I don't know, sir. Lost: Stranger In A Strange Land, a.k.a. Jack's Tattoo? Pretty much the entire first series of this very show (Blackadder)? If they ever do it, fairly long stretches of Red Dwarf?

Nit-pick… you keep referring to the British gov't/general/agent in Mr. Neutron - that whole military angle is a riff on American overeagerness to blow stuff up and be a bully (the whole "I bet they're really scared!" thing). And as if the fact that they aren't actually *called* Americans in the episode isn't enough,…
