Well of course. It's storytelling, like any other form of theatre. Just that they have rather more special effects and can compress time on film etc etc. You're still looking through the fourth wall.

He's trying (too hard) to make a point. The whole thing is overacted.

Didn't you see? Who was behind the monkey mask.

Some sort of metaphor about being your own worst enemy.

Or self-censorship?

I thought it was him behind the monkey mask, but couldn't be sure.

OK, we normally rush away, but what did everyone make of that?

I think I would have preferred a little bit more realism. And I like a bit of lunacy.

After the first few episodes, it started being too predictable for me. This is what comes of giving one man the power to create something from the depths of his subconscious!

This is the hardest one of all to mark but...

Arrival 9
The Chimes Of Big Ben 10
A. B. and C. 7
Free For All 8
The Schizoid Man 9
The General 7
Many Happy Returns 10
Dence Of The Dead 5
Checkmate 10
Hammer Into Anvil 9
It's Your Funeral 8
A Change Of Mind 7
Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling 4
Living In Harmony 3
The Girl Who Was Death 10
Once Upon A Time 6
Fall Out 7

I like bits of it, including the No 1 reveal (had to be him really, didn't it?), but there's other bits that could be so much better.
Vote Og.

I'm still watching.
