I believe we've gone beyond the event horizon, been sucked through the black hole and have emerged in some sort of parallel universe. *Googles "Prime Minister UK"* Don Rushmore!!

Yes, a rare DD typo, I think.
To be fair, we've listed it on our guide as one word. So probably an error at the press office.
Every time he's called Tea Leaf, I do smile.

Me too! 
Mmm, well the original cockney rhyming slang is two words, but I suppose once it's become a name in itself and hence one word.
Like if I decided to nickname Aaron Tomtit.
Quote: Aaron @ July 31 2009, 2:32 PM BSTStott having problems with it and me liking; what the hell is happening in the world?
Well, only mild problems. I shouldn't be so clever and work it out so easily. *smug face*
I loved it last night, although echoing some others views, I would have liked it have been tied up a little better and not so obviously ready for a second series. Oh well.

Me-ow!
I very much like the idea that it's mocking serious film and television which often use these sort of contrivances (ie: all the car keys left in the cars)... In that sense you can't put much stock in "plot holes" like a watermelon stopping a bullet, though to be fair nearly all the plot holes people have listed have perfectly reasonable explanations for them.
But I had forgotten Mr. Jelly's line about it not all adding up. That was brilliant.

Purrrrrrr.
Quote: Aaron @ July 31 2009, 10:29 AM BSTYeaahhh ... I'm really not sure you 'get' that whole sequence of events, the setup to it, what was actually going on in the room, or what (I believe) we're meant to be thinking about their state of minds and what's going on. There is no reason for him to leave, and with no car keys, and presumably the hospital pretty much in the middle of nowhere, and the place being pretty freaking spooky even in a room with a group of other people, he's not going to head anywhere else.
I "get" it perfectly, thanks. There's every reason for him to leave - Lomax has just played him for a fool by getting him to find Snappy, so he's angry. Without the car keys, he can clearly walk off, even if it's to the nearest building, and I seriously doubt a former hospital is in the middle of nowhere. Plus, he was outside for much of the time, and it didn't look very spooky then.
Quote: Aaron @ July 31 2009, 10:29 AM BSTOk, so we've established that he knows his wife was in some kind of psychiactric hospital. We've also established that he is probably still alive and walking freely. Therefore it's fair to assume that he may know her body has disappeared, and so she must still be alive. But how does he know that she kidnapped Nicola, and why would Ravenhill be the place he goes to? They were sent a video, sure, but that was from someone else, not from her. What's the link? There isn't a direct one here.
Because Nicola just phoned him and then presumably George couldn't get through to her, leading him to assume she's in danger. George knows about Joy's past, so it's perfectly safe to say that he would go there, especially if it involved Freddie in any way.
I know this is more a comedy-horror-mystery show but, to be fair, if you carefully analyse the plots of most comedies in detail, they fall apart fairly easily. Even Fawlty Towers does in many places (honest, it does). That's sort of the point with comedy, i.e. things not quite adding-up to what constitutes real life. This isn't a straight murder-mystery drama and so it seems a bit pointless to examine as though it were one.

The thing is, this has a following and a structure different from shows like Fawlty Towers, since these episodes run over a story arc, so things do need to stand up a bit. It's not like the "constant loop" comedy that Graham Linehan used to describe Father Ted. So it does have to have a lot of logic.
Quote: Gluben @ August 1 2009, 12:15 AM BSTSo it does have to have a bit of logic.
And it does.
Edited above. Oops.
All previous episodes had a lot of logic. The finale only had a bit, in my opinion.
Yeah, as Tim says, why is everyone going so deep! It's a comedy at the end of the day.
As it happens, I thought the final episode was the funniest of the lot (loads of witty one liners, and clever skewering of conventions - e.g. everyone ending up in one room - they didn't this time; and the baddie giving an elegent speech - he didn't)... so I'm not that bothered whether or not a bullet could penetrate a mellon or not.
Maybe I'm just stupid, but I really didn't see the Mr Jolly twist coming either... so that was fun.
The broach at the end did seem a bit tagged on at the last minute though, so let's just hope Psychoville gets a second series so that can be properly weaved into the story.
Oh, and give the Mrs Wren (the old woman handcuffed to Jelly) her own series! What a scene stealer! Brilliant.
Now, I'm off to the bookies to see what odds I can get on the show doing the double-whammy of a BAFTA and a Comedy Award.
