[Sundae]

Oh dear.

Shocks and sadness this episode.
Talk about no loose ends! Even I didn't expect this level of carnage.
Serves me right for being so miserable at the end of the last series.

The few remaining ends are being drawn together. And very cleverly.
When I couldn't sleep the other night I tried to think of a way Hattie and Jeremy could be brought into the plotline. Ditto Tealeaf, once his primary connection was severed.

Of all the ways I thought of, none matched what happened. Which is why I am a Teaching Assistant and not a brilliant comedy writer.

Shearsmiths, like Pemby can go from horror to pathos, from ugly to gorgeous, and from bastard to sweetie even within the same scene, let alone including make-up and different characterisation. Finney's meeting of minds with Jeremy made be go "Oh, noooooes!" Even though we know that Jem has already behaved appallingly. Just not as appallingly as Finney.

Again, lots of lovely League refs, without being too cliquey.

Oh I'm going to miss them when they're gone.
Still - less than a week to go - they're on on Monday I think.
Something weary is obviously taking their slot.
I doubt it will be good enough to console people who haven't heard and are tuning in for the last episode.

Please note, I was lite on spoilers today.
It nearly killed me.
I will be far more detailed next week.
