CGiii Comment
So...2016 has seen the return of this hugely popular series...after much wrangling over equal pay, Gillian stood her ground...after all, she is the only reason to watch it!
So...is this return a welcome return?
Episode 1 was interesting...the conspiracy theorists will be cackling away...a might beginning...oooooh the truth is out there! Further investigation required.
But...
Episode 2...a completely different story! The conspiracy theorists look at each other in bemusement.
Then...
Episode 3...is a conflation between utter junk and absolute bollocks. The creature from the black lagoon...with all the production values of the original...
It's written as a comedy, it's played like a comedy. No-one is laughing! Apart from when the transgender character whacks the monster in the face with her handbag...ruining it with an embedded horn!
Yes...it really is that bad!
