More Allsbrooke Chaos, Round 2 In Wapping & Robotic Comedy! 😁📺

Hello world! Welcome back to another blog. This is another TV Review, where the shows I’ll be talking about today include the third series of the Allsbrooke teens, the second series of the show that packed a punch, and a robotic comedy created, written by and starring Diane Morgan. So without further ado, when is what I thought of these shows!

G’Wed:

The first show I’m going to talk about is the third series of G’Wed, casted by Harry Gilbert, and starring Dylan Thompson-Smith, and Jake Kenny-Byrne.

This show continues the adventures of Reece Duffy and his friends as they navigate school life and their next chapters after they finish school. 

Dylan Thomas-Smith reprised his role as cheeky chappy Reece. Whilst he was still the cheeky troublemaker we all live, he also went on a journey of his own, from navigating the relationship between of his mum Jodie and Mr Dunn, to using his voice for the right reasons, and as seen from episode 3 onwards, found his voice in debating. He also got roped into other scenarios such as getting into ballroom dancing in episode 5, and also showcased his amazing singing voice in episode 7 when he and the gang got themselves in a dangerous situation. Jake Kenny-Byrne reprised his role as Reece and co’s posh friend Christopher, who still continues to be teased by Reece and his friends but still managed to see the funny side. He was also the one who encouraged Reece to go on debating team and also used his voice in episode 4 when giving a speech about his life in both Surrey and Liverpool when having to go against his old friends from his previous school. Like the previous series, I loved the on screen chemistry between Dylan and Jake, showing how in a platonic way, opposites really do attract. Mia-Louise, reprised by Gemma Barraclough, went on a football journey after she got spotted by a women’s team, whilst still be the cheeky sassy girl she is. I can only imagine how her bold personality caused some shockwaves in the club, but she used her voice for a reason as seen in episode 3 when one man asked a specific question, and again in episode 6 where after getting a tough decision on her hands, it resulted in giving the team a ted talk about why the game is important. As much as she was bold and brassy, she also had a very mature head on her shoulders, which showed at the end of episode 6 on why she made the decisions she made. Aimee, reprised by Amber Harrison, continued her acting journey, overcoming bias with her amazing voice in episode 2, and had an up and down relationship with her dad when her mum returned. I can understand why she wanted to get to know her mum again, but in episode 6 when doing her solo, she realised how much her dad meant to her, especially when he had a health scare at the end of her show. She and Reece also had a moment where they realised their feelings for each other, showing how the best relationships can come from friendships! There were also Reece’s and Christopher’s friends in the form of Connor, Mo and Ted (Max Ainsworth, Zak Douglas and Dominic Murphy). For Connor, he was still always teasing Reece about liking his mum, but got some experience of what love would be like in episode 6 which I found quite entertaining, and definitely made the most of a near death experience as seen in episode 7. Mo fell victim to a prank Christopher did on his mumAmal (Sunetra Sarker), and along with Ted, had no trouble getting revenge, and was also surprised to hear about The Brimble's and Mia-Louise’s secret liking to him. Ted may have not had much of a journey in this series, but he always tried to lighten things up as seen in episode 7. We also got to see Ella-Grace Brimble aka The Brimble, reprised by Evie Ward-Drummond, continue her campaign work with Reece getting in her way. But we started to see a more vulnerable reason on why she decided to go down this road, leading to a potential case of psychosis as seen in episode 3, but managed to be on good terms with Reece. 

There were many other people who had an impact on the teens life. These included the return of Reece’s mum Jodie, reprised by Leanne Best who continues to embarrass Reece (as seen in episode 1) like the mum she is, but also showed deep care for him like a good parent. She also had to step up for her friend Steph and her children at the end of her birthday, which did have consequences at the end of the series. There was also Aimee’s dad Wayne played by John McGrellis, who supported Aimee in her acting journey, and even helped her submit an audition, showing how much he cares for her. But it was nice to see the reality of his MS side affects as seen in episode 3, where he was taking Aimee to her audition, and also faced challenges when her mum Anne came back, which did cause a strain between him and Aimee. But he was still able to make a joke as seen in episode 6 when he had a health scare at the end of Aimee’s stage debut. We also saw teacher Mr Dunn, played by Philip Shaun-McGuinness who had to deal with Disneyland Darren when it came to his relationship with Jodie, and got into some awkward situations in episode 2 when he chaperoned Aimee at an audition, and also got himself in danger as seen in episode 7. Paddy Rowan reprised his role as Lewis. Even though he only appeared in one episode, knew how to make an appearance as seen in episode 4, when he was trying to express in his own way on owning up to the mistakes he made, which didn’t go down well. There was also the return Disneyland Darren, reprised by Ben Batt, who may have been crazy and deluded, but he does have a point about being a part of his life, particularly in episode 7, where he came the rescue and despite setting off Sean’s buttons (who I’ll get onto later), saved Reece’s life in the process. We also got to see Headmaster Mr Meacher, reprised by Louis Emerick, who did his job well, but also saved the day in episode 7 when danger came to the door, but still fell victim to Reece’s pranks. But then again he knew that Reece would go far in life. We also got to see Christopher’s grandma Pat, reprised by Jemma Churchill, who particularly in episode 5 had a deeper reason on why she wanted to win a dance competition, making Christopher more appreciating of it despite having an argument about it. There were also some new characters coming in who had an impact on the children. One of them was Football coach Tracy played by Frances McNamee who wanted to take the club seriously, but has a similar personality to Mia-Louise. Whilst she could see potential despite the cheeky attitude, she admired her for her decision in episode 6 when she offered her another year on the academy. There was also fellow club member Daisy, played by Yasmin Davies, who seemed like the perfect footballer and mocked Mia-Louise for her way of life. But she soon had a ted talk from her after not getting the result she wanted. There was also Aimee’s mum Anna played by… who came back out of convenience after hearing about Wayne’s MS and tried to get back into her good books. It did seem to work, but she also hid a big secret from her, which gave Aimee the wake up call to relaid Wayne was telling the truth about why she really left. I also wanted to give a shoutout to the day player roles who did a really good job. These included Saghar and Habib in episode 1 (Jennifer Varda and Hbron Tedros) who helped The Brimble for her refugee week but soon revealed to be a prank, set up by Reece. There was also Sam the casting director, played by Michael Higgs, who got moved by Aimee’s singing during the Cilla Black musical audition, and auditionee Alex played by Lily Blunsom-Washbrook, who mocked Aimee at first but soon she then got caught up in an awkward situation. There was also Miles played by Jack Whitam, who’s in charge of the media department at the academy, and Nigel played by John David-Evans in episode 3, a interviewer who got a tough grilling from Mia-Louise. There was also Rodrick and Nathan in episode 4 played by Isaac Rouse and Noah Thomas, Christopher’s old friends who took on the debating team, with Rodrick going to extreme measures that led to a drastic event, maybe seen as revenge for Christopher moved, and Pats old rival Mary Mallan, played by Sally Rogers, who with unique encouragement from Reece made her have a realisation about her dance career and managed to patch things up with Pat. There was also Connors lover Lorraine, played by Roxy Shahidi in episode 6 (who for anyone who watched Emmerdale, played a character called Leyla Harding), who flirted with Connor and gave him a run for his money, but was a set up by the gang, and dangerous thug Sean, played by David Walmsley, who was revealed to be the dad of the kids Jodie had to look after, seeking revenge for getting them into foster care, and despite Reece giving him a realisation, Darren of course had to ruin it but Ted managed to sort him out. 

I don’t think I have any downsides, as with some comedies I don’t normally have to force a laugh out. But for this series I definitely had moments where I needed a good chuckle. I think my only thing to point out was that I don’t think the teens realise the real fate from Mr Dunn in episode 7, but I’m sure Mr Meacher gave them the run down. I also didn’t know if Sean was actually arrested at the end of the series, but by the looks of things he’ll have definitely suffered the consequences of his actions. 

Overall I would give this show a full house of 5 out of 5. It was funny, entertaining, whilst also balancing it with some beautiful emotional moments. And with series 4 already being filmed, I’d be interested to see how the rest of their time at school goes as they navigate GCSE’s and new journeys. 

As Thousand Blows Series 2:

The next show I’m going to talk about is season 2 of A Thousand Blows, with once again a star studded cast, which include Erin Doherty, Hannah Walters and Stephen Graham.

This takes place one year since the events of the first series, seeing Hezekiah, Mary and Sugar navigate their journeys  and make difficult choices as they confront new enemies. As this was a continuation of true life events, it felt like a history lesson. So like the last series I’m going to speak about the characters as if I’ve just come out of a history lesson. 

This time we saw Hezekiah Moscow, reprised by Malachi Kirby, working through his grief on Alec and his responsibility for the death of Buster Williams. But taking a job on mentoring Prince Albert Victor and fighting a new enemy (who I’ll mention later on), gave him a new reason to stay. And in training Albert at the Blue Coat Boy, it gave him his newfound reason for fighting again as seen in episode 4 when Treacle’s son Thomas (who I’ll mention later on) was setting up the fight night and nearly got himself into deep trouble. What I also got from him was that he was a great teacher, as he showed Prince Albert Victor that boxing is not a technique to kill someone but an art form and science (his words not mine). He also showed a unique technique in episode 5 that proved successful, and by episode 6, I’ve also learnt that Hezekiah used his prize for the right reasons and was also a risk taker and a chancer, making a decision to move elsewhere to continue his boxing career. We also saw the return of Mary Carr, reprised by Erin Doherty. With her alias’ as Miss Swinney in episode 1 and Miss Polly Crane in episode 2, the start of the series saw her in control of her mother Jane and the villainous indigo Jeremy. But somehow she managed to get the Forty elephants back together as seen at the end of episode 2 and the start of episode 3, but showed a vulnerable side when confiding in Eliza in episode 4. This vulnerable side showed even more and got her grieving in episode 5 for her mother, which did put pressure when it came to the main heist, that along with the main villain Murtagh (who I’ll mention later on) didn’t help, and also felt the pressure in episode 6 when a guest at the ball tried to make choir girl Harriet feel uncomfortable. As well as being in a violent gang, this scenario shows that she wants to pull off a heist for the right reasons, knowing that Harriet could’ve been one of the Elephants. But I was happy for her decision at the end of the series when it came to her future, knowing that in the long run, whilst I don’t know if she’ll make another gang of thieves, she’ll at least be happier. This series also saw the returning patron boxer Henry “Sugar” Goodson, reprised by Stephen Graham, going on a journey of highs and lows. The start of the series saw him took a downward spiral following previous events of the last series, but with Hezekiah finding him, he was soon was trying to help him when the Jeremys were out for war and step up for his brother, redeeming himself in moments as seen in episode 4 where he promised Thomas to help both get Treacle back and help with the Blue Coat Boy. But it wasn’t long before he was back to his old ways after the main villain Murtagh got him to make a decision in episode 4, which caused a disruption for the return of the fight nights, which he as revealed to be jealousy, soon putting things right in episode 5. You know when he redeemed himself, when he risked his life in episode 6 to save Treacle, Mary and Hezekiah, showing that whilst you don’t want to mess with Sugar on a bad day, he does have a softer side. With Stephen being the brilliant actor he was, he definitely got me liking Sugars redemption arc. 

There were many characters in this series, returning and new, who once again impacted Hezekiahs, Mary’s and Sugar’s journey in Wapping. There was Alice Diamond, reprised by Darci Shaw aka Miss Mathilda Cottan in episode 1 and Lucinda Drake in episode 5, taking over the reins of a big heist when Mary had some urgent business to attend to. She also knew what she wanted, and I can see why in episode 6 Mary decided to leave her in charge of the Forty Elephants, as she was able to adapt and get the gang what they wanted. This series also saw Eliza, reprised by Hannah Walters, settling into her new role as a factory worker, convinced that her new life is okay despite some health setbacks. She was also someone who also reassured Mary that despite not wanting to be part of the Forty Elephants, she’ll always support Mary’s decisions. We also saw the return of Edward “Treacle” Goodson, reprised by James Nelson Joyce who is left running the pub which put pressure on him. We also saw him spiralling following the events of the last series, putting his youngest daughter in danger in episode 3, which resulted in his wife leaving him after a brief trip to see her mother. Soon a rumour Sugar heard about him got him questioning, which got Treacle soon wallowing in self pity in episode 4 and 5. But he soon came to his senses and helped Hezekiah, Mary and Sugar journey to defeat their enemy once and for all and clear his name. Among the Forty Elephants, we saw the return of Esme, played by Morgan Haliare who was also grieving for Alec and helping Treacle through his separation from his family, which got mistaken by both Mary and Sugar for helping Treacle in “other ways”. She also put her trust in Mary when it came to the heist, and secretly I think she was glad that she did as they would be be where they are hasn’t she joined them again. There was also the return of Mary’s mum Jane, reprised by Susan Lynch, who had an offer for Mary for strictly all female business and gave us a real story if passion on why she set up the Forty Elephants in the first place. She also revealed a health setback, and made sure that Mary was loved and cared for before she passed, which had mixed feelings for Mary. There was also Jack Mac, played by Gary Lewis, who definitely had interesting supplies but ultimately was on Hezekiah’s, Sugar’s and Mary’s side. Once of the Forty Elephants who we got to see more of was Verity, reprised by Maria Albina, who after not getting much backstory in the first series, she worked in correspondence. But she still put her faith in Mary and agreed to trust her in the big heist at the end of the series. We also saw the return of Mr Lao, reprised by Jason Tobin who had a big link to Verity (business and romantically speaking) but also came to see Hezekiah to give him the boost he needed. I’m just glad I got to see him on screen again, as he had a brought time of it last series, but it was great that he was doing so well, and if it wasn’t for him risking his safety and coming back to Wapping, I don’t think Hezekiah would’ve continued his career in boxing. Victoria Davies, reprised by Aliyah Odoffin, also had a big impact on Hezekiah, as she was the one who reassured him of the real cause of Buster Williams’ death and offered him a lifeline in episode 1, which then led to an offer in episode 2 which he couldn’t refuse. There was also a moment of a closeness when she opened up about her birthplace in episode 4, but his disappointment came for him when she revealed her suitor in episode 5. But when she revealed how his presence helped her understand what she wanted in life, it also gave Hezekiah clarity on his! So I think he has a lot to thank her for. This series also saw Treacle’s son Thomas Goodson, played by Will Bagnall who held the fort for his dad whilst he was struggling. I got from him that despite Treacle putting his family in danger, still stepped up to help, showing his loyalty to his family knowing that even though he was bearly into adulthood, he would have to take over the family business and have a family of his own. So he was definitely wise beyond his years, and without his motivation, the Blue Coat Boy would possibly be gone forever! We also saw the return of William “Punch” Lewis,  reprised by Daniel Mays, who was seeking other employment but got roped into the fight nights again. I loved his enthusiasm for it, as it reminded him on why he did it in the first place. Like last series there were many enemies who got in Hezekiah’s, Mary’s and Sugar’s way. One of them was Indigo Jeremy, played by Robert Glenister, at the start of the series, who certainly had a hold on Mary, and explaining his theories on men and women, but met a brutal fate by Hezekiah as revenge for Alec’s death. Another one was Bull, played by Ned Dennehy, who was loyal to indigo Jeremy and wanted to start a war as revenge for Hezekiah killing him as seen at the end of episode 2 and the start of episode 3, where he also sadly met a brutal end. But the real enemy of the series was in the form of Vance Murtagh, played by Tim Steed, who at first took his aim on Duval and soon wanted Mary defeated. You also know that he’s definitely a villain when he gave Sugar an impossible choice which resulted in going behind Mary and Hezekiahs back in order to save Treacle. But I think he knew at the end that you don’t mess with the Goodsons, as giving Sugar a last chance to save his brother got him in a brutal mess, but if it wasn’t for a villain like him, Sugar wouldn’t have had the wake up call he needed. There was also fellow officer Brenner, played by James Harkness, who was loyal to Murtagh but at the end was able to help Treacle get off (clearly having doubts about Murtagh’s movies), and Edward John Eyre, played by Gary Cooper, who was someone Hezekiah read in the newspaper and also linked to the Queen and talked Hezekiahs past in Morant Bay and the impact it caused in episode 2 (with a flashback showing it). This series saw new characters coming in. One of them was Mary’s contact from America Sophie Lyons, played by Catherine McCormack with her alias of Isabel Bridges in episode 4. After she and Mary met between the end of the first series and the start of the second series, she definitely had a big task for the gang, making a big impression on each of them for different reasons. She was also someone who showier the early signs of hypnosis and Tarot cards after event guest John Budgden (James Fisher) was not convinced of her powers, and also convinced Alice in episode 5 to think for herself, showing her selfishness. But episode 6 showed her true intentions when there was a setback in the heist, showing that whilst thinking of yourself is okay, it came to a point where it can only go so far. We also saw a figure called Charles Duval, played by Alexander Blazy, a boxer from France who came to Hezekiah looking for a home and had a similar past to Hezekiah. After bonding over their trauma, he sadly met a gory fate when Hezekiah was in danger. But if it wasn’t for his outcome, it wouldn’t give Hezekiah the strength to keep going. This series also introduced Prince Albert Victor, played by Stanley Morgan, a relative of Victoria Davies who gave Hezekiah an interesting offer of sugar plantation with regard to his hometown, and also heard about Hezekiahs allegedly death in Buster Williams and wanted help him out. What I got from him was that he was willing to learn, taking on board the lessons when Hezekiah talks about what Boxing really is after he opened up on why he wanted Hezekiah to teach him in the first place. And despite some pre match nerves, his skills along with Hezekiahs tips did the trick and equally got what they wanted. There was also artist Fredrich Leighton, played by Richard Dillane, who got involved in Mary’s plan for the heist which he didn’t realise until the very end, and American boxer Nathaniel Washington, played by CJ Bedford, who offered Hezekiah a proposition to take his boxing career to the next level. Furthermore in episode 6 we got to see Nathaniel give Hezekiah the reason he loves boxing again, and without Nathaniel, I don’t think Hezekiah would take the leap of faith. I’m also glad that we got to see abit of Alec, reprised by Francis Lovehall, where he appeared in a flashback in episode 6, which gave Hezekiah motivation on why he was boxing in the first place. He definitely did his best friend proud, and Alec’s family would sure be happy on giving the land Albert promised to them. 

I don’t think I have any downsides to the show as like the last series, it really got me hooked. I think the one thing I would’ve wanted was more episodes. Not only so that I can audition to at least get one line in it or an extra role (like a friend from my acting class), but to also explore more of Hezekiah's new life when he makes that big decision. And because the real Hezekiah passed away at a young age, it would be a real insight as to how he navigated the last few years of his life and the legacy he left for those who have had the pleasure of either seeing him or working with him. 

Overall I would give the show a full house of 5 out of 5. Like the last series, it was tense, powerful, and it also showed me that like with Hezekiah, downsizing a passion you love somehow reignited the spark to keep going! I don’t know if they’ll be a third series of the show, but if there is, I’d be interested to see how Hezekiah’s and Mary’s life pans out and also the legacy he leaves in the last few stages of his life! 

Ann Droid:

The final show I’m going to talk about is Ann Droid, starring Diane Morgan (who wrote and created the show) and Sue Johnson.

As stated on the BBC iPlayer homepage, the synopsis of the show goes as follows:

“It’s Sue’s worst nightmare - an overly attentive, socially inept, second-hand robot cater. But maybe this droid has its uses…”

Sue Johnson took on the role of widow Sue, who at first was adamant she can live in her own and also had her opinions on certain things, like her sons wife (who I’ll mention later on), but was still secretly grieving on her husband David’s death. At first she was hesitant about having Linda to care for her, but she soon realised how important Linda was as seen in episode 1 when she did a nice gesture, soon opening up about how we do struggle to let people go. And without Linda, she wouldn’t have done some of the things she did since Dave’s death, like going for a job in episode 2 and the funfair in episode 3. Episode 5 also saw Sue seeing a place from a camping memory when Michael was little, where despite getting lost and loosing her temper, she was grateful to Linda for knowing that if she didn’t go, she wouldn’t have gotten to see her final meteor shower and the memory from the past. Despite Linda being chaotic, the last episode of the series gave her a realisation of how important Linda was to her, and was secretly disappointed when Michael revealed about sending her back, not knowing what would actually happen to her. And the voice message Linda created from her ex husband Dave said it all, and I can’t wait to see what adventures they have next. Diane Morgan took on the role of Sue’s droid carer Linda, a robot to help people like Sue with her health and independency. After seeing clips of her show Mandy on social media and seeing her in Last One Laughing, I can see why my dad finds her funny, bringing her character of Linda to life. I also appreciate the hard work and challenges she had to endure after revealing in an interview of an injury she had whilst filming. But like the true professional she is, she worked her way around it and managed to make this chaotic but caring robot entertaining. What I got from Linda was that at times she did cause chaos as seen in episode 2 during Michael’s wife Renee belt ceremony, along with causing chaos at a camping site in episode 5 (where she had camping settings for it specifically) and made a big impression on a family dinner with Sue’s son Michael and his wife Renee in episode 4. But she also showed her willingness to help Sue, which include convincing her to go for a job in episode 2, go to the funfair in episode 3, and detecting a scammer call towards the end of the series. I also love Sue’s and Diane’s on screen chemistry, and after seeing on social media how they worked together before on a show called The Cockfields back in 2019, it’s clear that they do get along both on screen and off, and also having that trust in each other. We also got to see the mishaps of Sue’s son Michael, played by Paul Ready, who wanted to live his life and not to look after his mum, with him getting Linda in the first place. He also had to deal with an obstacle in his marriage to Renee, and with encouragement from Linda tried to pursue his dream at an open mic night in episode 3 (which didn’t go to plan after Linda misread his message). Despite having an argument with Sue in episode 4, he realised how important Sue was when he made a shocking discovery when it comes to his fertility in episode 5, helping her and Linda during the camping trip. I know he only wanted what was best for Sue, but the final episode showed that he was easily distracted and forgetting the little things Linda remembered for Sue (medication, her husbands anniversary etc). So I guess if Sue is happy with Linda, he’s also happy. 

There were other people who had a unique encounter with Linda and also helped Sue through her grieving process. One of them was Renee, played by Andrea Valls, who was Michael’s wife and Sue had negative opinions on him due to having an affair with the instructor (which she thinks there was no issue) and was trying to convince Michael to be more bold and passionate, and also a trait showing she wants to hog the limelight. But after Michael’s discovery, I found it both odd and entertaining of how she casually made the divorce in episode 6 seem normal. That was largely impacted by the appearance of Chris, played by Maximilian Osinski, Renee’s karate instructor who made Michael very uncomfortable knowing her past with him, but surprisingly formed a bond at the end of the series when it came to dating apps. Another person who had an impact on Sue’s life after Dave’s death was Phyllis, played by Margot Leicester, who was one of those people she found irritating due to boasting about everything she does. But the two found a common ground in episode 4 when both of their problems come to a head, with Phyllis’ being the problems with her husband Jeffery (Rupert Vannsittart), and they soon became good friends, which resulted in Sue making a drunken and drastic decision, which Linda clearly warned her about. Another person was Sue’s friend Eileen played by Kathryn Hunter, who runs a shop called “second haven” and always had a story to tell. Despite not giving Sue a job at her shop in episode 2, she was still a really good friend and accompanied her and Linda on the new adventures. There was also Tom and his Ann Droid Roxy played by David Hargreaves’s and Nicole Sadie Sawyer, who also inspired Sue to try new things. But with Roxy sadly getting “injured” in episode 3 (which was quite entertaining), Tom had to get a replacement droid called Guy played by Matt Barkley, who at first was hesitant after expressing his thoughts on why he preferred Roxy in episode 5, but soon as seen in episode 6 he took a liking to Guy, doing the typical “male” things with him. There was also Mark, played by Al Roberts, Michaels boss at “off the scale” and made it clear of his liking to Michael, and also showing his liking to the Droid employee Keith (Ed Jones). And there was annoying neighbour Maggie Hughes, played by Marion Barron, who comes at the most inappropriate times. But it’s moment like this when Linda came into good use… I also wanted to give a shoutout to the Day players who helped carry Sue’s and Linda’s journey through the series. These included Nurse Brianna Powell in episode 1, played by Michelle Greenidge (who was also in Code 404 and also worked with Diane before in Mandy), who gave Sue a tough talking to when it came to her injuries, and delivery woman Cass, played by Sarah Kendall, who made a reappearance in episode 6 where she tried to stop Linda from coming back to Sue. There was also Cab driver Brian played by Danny John-Jules, someone who I would be uneasy about getting in a taxi with (but was very entertaining). There was also Elliot, played by Ben Sambrook, a customer who definitely achieved his objective of Michael being irritated by the noise, even though my guess is the shop is designed for people to try the instruments before buying them. There was also Fortune teller Mystic Maria, played by Souad Faress, who asked Sue unique questions when asking about Dave, which did work when a missing earring Sue had was a sign. There we also a Shop assistant in episode 4, played by Heather Henriques, who had a chaotic encounter when Sue was trying on dresses, and fellow Camper Kit in episode 5, played by ruby Bridle, who had a interesting snack she gave to Linda. There was also a mother Anya and her son Max, played by Jade Ogugua and John King, who Linda interacted with the children which certainly backfired ( it was quite entertaining), and Nish played by Jake Bhardwaj, who interviewed Michael for a trial for him to earn money in episode 5, and also gave Michael some shocking news when it came to his fertility. And finally there was Dance teacher Pru, played by Amanda Bright, after Linda convinced Sue to take up dance lessons after watching Strictly Come Dancing, and Melody, played by Carla Woodcock, a droid specifically designed to work in the romance department, which jeffry used and Michael soon took a liking to her! 

I don’t think I have any downsides to the show as it was very entertaining and funny. But there were some observations I wished I’d have seen. These included the delivery driver Cass being the one Michael could like after his divorce with Renee, and the after affect of Linda giving Max in episode 5 Kit’s “Mushroom Chocolate” as that would be funny. I also couldn’t tell if Michael was happy to have Linda back, but after his encounter with Melody, I think it’s a sign to say that if Sue is happy, then Michael was also happy. 

Overall I would give the show a full house of 5 out of 5. I thought it was funny, chaotic (but in the best way possible) and also has an emotional message to keep living your life, but it was done in the most entertaining way possible. And when I eventually find my own place, I think I would definitely need a robot like Linda to help me out, as being autistic, I know I’ll need that extra help. A moment where AI can be useful! 

And that is it for my latest instalment of TV Reviews. Let me know which show you watched and your thoughts on them.

See you soon for another blog. Until next time…

This is The Autistic Actress signing off :)
