Episode 3.5 Review

The penultimate episode of this much-improved third season is sadly its weakest. The idea of satirising social networking sites is rich ground for comedy, but nothing is taken to any particularly original directions by writer Graham Linehan.

Dan Owen, Dan's Media Digest, 20th December 2008
