Thinking about it, it would be the acme of rudeness not to give Horizoners another opportunity to ignore one of my ill-judged offerings for last year's Adventurous Calendar, as it seems kind of apposite on this occasion. And whatever the opposite of apposite is.

LIFE ON VIRN?

It's an oddly oddball affair
To the guy with the curly hair
But it’s funny how things can go
When the baddie has stolen the show

But his friends are nowhere to be seen
And now even the sand is green
No, there’s nothing else Del can do
’cos he's hooked to the queen of mean

But the plot is no maddening bore
No, she’s not quite the girl next door
And she spits in the eyes of fools
As they beg her for mercy, those

Failures fighting for the long haul
Poor Gan – sad how such brave men go
Let those freaks feel the blows
Would you look at the bad man
Beating up that Kerr guy?
Mad man! Who could never, ever know
It was the best sci-fi show?
Is there life on Virn?

It's writ on randy Del’s tortured brow
That Servie hoovered him up somehow
Piri always was such a pain
Is Avon for sale again?

My advice is don’t make a fuss
’bout Assassin or Sarcopha-gus
Hey, no storyline’s out of bounds
For Del’s brother or Og, we’ve found

So no plot is a maddening bore
Let’s beg Terry and Chris for more
May the show be a hit again
And the fans can all focus on

Failures fighting for the long haul
Poor Gan – sad how such brave men go
Let those freaks feel the blows
Would you look at the bad man
Beating up that Kerr guy?
Mad man! Who could never, ever know
It was the best sci-fi show?
Is there life on Virn?

Well, I am raring to go. I will hang on for 5 mins or so just in case but whatever happens I am watching this tonight. A great ending. Up there with Blake but way funnier.

Ha! We escaped the wedding! It was dependent on our car being fixed, and the new part hasn't arrived. Reprieve! So you're stuck with me again tonight. Glad I will see the 'final' episode, although I suspect they'll still leave some bits hanging. Gets to be a habit, after two series.

Now it's time...are we still waiting 5 mins?

Nice start with J. Saville

OK, starting!
In one of my OU exams the invigilator fell asleep. In another, he said 'I have a lot of revising to do - don't need anything, please'. So encouraging.

And well done the Virnmobile! You'll have to reward it for getting you out of the wedding.

Yes, that didn't have quite the same resonance when this was filmed!

Speeding down the back alleys taken to the point of absurdity. I like the washing. But what is the song?

Might have been elton john...funeral for a friend

This is all pretty well horrible so far. Why would anyone watch it for 'entertainment'?

Cor blimey, it's grit, woman.

It's still horrible.

It's still horrible.

Annie's the only one with any sense at all.
