Au Revoir: Part 2

[Prismark10 · 5/10 · 25 June 2018]

Barry has been kidnapped but I always thought that Neville was the intended target and dastardly Tarquin is behind it all.

The boys are rounded up by Neville from a Thai massage parlour to find Barry with the help of Tatiana. However when a Thai local claims to know where Barry is being held, the boys naively go to a village with him and end up being kidnapped by local guerillas aas well.

They are the same group that hold Barry and they demand a high ransom. The boys decide to make themselves useful to the villagers by building much needed provisions for them, a bathroom and toilet. At least it would be a distraction until they can figure out a way to escape.

It is good knockabout fun but it does feel lesser than the previous shows. It was nice to see the crew one last time before it really was Auf Wiedersehen for good.

Train wreck of Tay Bridge proportions

This show is so bad, a spoiler could only serve as a public service. A monumental mistake to take such a brilliant ensemble group and serve them up a script and plot as absurd and badly conceived as this. It serves absolutely no purpose whatsoever and does nobody in the cast any favours. Even the storyline stinks to high heaven. Why and in what universe would six men released from a hostage situation in barbaric conditions not want to get the hell out of there? How would they not want to run and not look back pausing only perhaps to point the 82nd Airborne Division in the direction of the location of their captors? What would possess them to stick around and finish a building contract for the very people who'd imprisoned and mistreated them? (And where did they get the materials for the job, the local B&Q perhaps?) A far better use of resources would have been a documentary about the four preceding series or even a "where are they now" featurette. Anything really would have been preferable to this abomination.
