Maybe it's two of the dwarves, one on the others shoulders? :D

Also, David appeared to have the blue plastic bag containing the severed clown head at the end there, anyone else notice that? That's what it looked like anyway.

I spotted it! I'm thinking it's a red herring, everyone was going to scream at the TV "IT'S JOLLY'S HEAD IN A BAG! IT'S DAVID! IT'S DAAAAAAAAAAAVID!" Or was that just my best friend?

I noticed that too, but thought it couldn't be him as David was in bed when the blackmailer called, and the blackmailer was clearly at a train station.

I thought tonights episode was really good by the way. However I feel no sympathy for Robin the dwarf.

Are we meant to?

Me neither, you don't feel any sympathy at all for him, unlike the other characters. That's the least appealing part of the show to me, I haven't really got on board witrh those characters.

Yeah, so we'll see; I'm assuming the Mystery man left it for him or something and it was just supposed to be a little cliffhanger for those paying attention to wonder about! :)

We didn't see him though...Maureen went and fetched a pen to take a message...

Exactly.

He tried to basically trick a woman into marrying him and although it turned out he didn't have any magic powers when he thought he did he used them to try and scare people.

"You wouldn't like me when I'm angry".

So at the end when he was knocked out and driven off by the real freaky dwarf you just end up thinking "Serves him right".

Saying that yeah I don't care about him like I do Mr Jelly or David.

I like the fact they've subverted peoples expectations with Mr Jelly, as I bet everyone assumed he was going to be a 'scary horror clown, yawn'.

I've come to the decision that I'd book Mr Jelly for my party. Reece could make an absolute killing from Psychoville fans if he offered his services*.

(That sounds slightly sordid...)

For those of you following the online experience, tonight's email is interesting.

No audio playing at the moment.

Cor, you're a braver person than me! People have mentioned that the video feeds change when you refresh the page...

It would be rather interesting if you had to watch the feeds at the same time as the final episode's going out next week. Perhaps I'm overthinking this. I think it's time for bed.

Yes, I spotted that.

I think the Mystery Man is Mr. Jolly - when Mr. Jelly and the old woman found his body in the house, his head was covered by a bag, then the head was removed still in the bag.

Cluedo!

Agreed.

Quote: Gluben @ July 23 2009, 10:43 PM BST

Is the red button thing working? They said the final episode is on interactive, but it's Taking the Flak right now I think.

Same here. :(

I did think that, but when the blackmailer wrote "You killed her" on the police car window in episode 2, Jolly was still entertaining the kids inside the school. I think.

The BBC Comedy blog has now posted details about what happened with the "Red button".

To be honest, I'm very relieved they didn't red button the last episode. Good for people to wait a week for the conclusion. The BBC announcer seemed a bit all over the place last night. I'm sure she introduced last night's programme as "the final episode" as well.
