Did anyone else sit through this episode with an increasing sense of terror about the prospect of Jason Donovan's pallid buttocks shining in the Polnarren moonlight?
Thanks to god and/or the scriptwriters, they stayed covered up. Anyone who ever did science GCSE and remembers the bitter disappointment when their friend manages a rainbow mushroom cloud, but their acids and things don't react properly and just sit limply in a test tube, will relate to the chemistry demonstrated here:
When it comes to contemporary drama, sitcoms and YouTube, the question often arises: "is this supposed to be funny?" This is an absolutely pointless question. Either something is funny or it isn't, it doesn't matter whether it was supposed to be. And this was an episode filled with rivers of tears and torrents of laughter. Tears of teen angst flood from the eyesockets of wannabe-Lolita Grace as she fails to seduce the male Hollyoaks caravan-dweller in a turquoise bra and transparent gold top. Laughter roars forth from us at her plight.
Grace: a clue. There's almost certainly a reason he looks like a gay Damon Albarn. We know he's not Damon Albarn, so add up your two plus two and make the thirteen-and-and-half that everyone else's SoapPlot caculator has managed to compute.
Because there don't currently appear to be any gay characters in Polnarren. We know Jason Donovan isn't gay. We definitely know that Jason Donovan isn't gay. Jason Donovan's son looks gay, but appears to be lusting after the female caravan-dweller. The dark-haired geek friend of Susan's son may as well be gay, but isn't (yet). Susie Amy looks the likeliest bet, in a Single White Female psycho-killer sort of a way.
Yay! Now that's a mushroom cloud.

The arty editing from match to kerosene torch, to match, to torch, to dripping fuel, to match etc etc was straight out of Eldorado's book of tricks.
Sadly, the fire didn't burn the rest of the trailers, or managed to affect anyone's hair.... and why didn't Jason run in after his son? wouldn't that have been better drama (old man would have tripped and son could have saved him) than standing and watching?
