Things that made me laugh
Ghosts 3.3
Oh, Mary! Oh, Kitty! I am glad Alison tries to look after you. Well, Kitty most of all.
Interesting, after the previous episode, that Robin and Julian were comrades again, equals in terror. I loved Robin’s total incomprehension of why you’d choose to live ‘outdoors’ when you could have a roof and walls.
Alison, as assisted by ghosts, was always going to beat Mr Outdoors, as Mike admitted, without admitting he’d cut the electricity off. And of course, the ghosts she’d tried to get away from all followed her to his tent, anyway.
But before that, both Julian and Humphrey using a fake nap to avoid Lady Fanny! Well, Humphey definitely was, and she was a bit bored, but not able to express it properly - loved the recurrence of her falling out of the window. Did not love so much the recurrence of Thomas’s terrible, terrible poetry. It was totally understandable that Alison got away from him as soon as he started spouting it, although the simple gorgeousness of dawn was lovely (I wonder if anyone would have written this, or indeed the whole having to camp in the grounds plotline without lockdown?)
Mary’s terror at the Wood Worm Men and the Boiler Man was funny and darling (but surely the house, neglected as it was, had been fumigated before, if not in this particular way.)
And it gave us the Scout movement versus the Army, or okay, the Army’s Officer Class of decades ago, with Pat showing the Captain up by knowing what he was talking about. But the transformation of everyone into his pack was adorable - ghosts telling ghost stories! - especially the pay-off of the badges.
The Hobbit has been cropping up a lot in my life recently, including this SNL Hobbit Office sketch. The blend of Middle Earth and the original The Office made me laugh, most of all Gollum as Gareth.
