What happened to those sheep?

[Sleepin_Dragon · 6/10 · 6 May 2020]

Ben wants to reunite his old band, Michael and Alfie have to swap personalities to impress their respective dates.

It's a funny episode, Kenzo provides a few laughs with his piano playing, and Ben gets some great scenes, it's a very strong Ben story, the best scene comes where Susan has to give Ben the awkward news, it's a sad moment. Lovely scene between Ben and Kenzo.

I wouldn't say it's a favourite from this series, but it is a good one. 6/10.

"I can't work with this"

Ben tries to restart his old band in this fun episode from a stellar 8th series of the show.

It does look like this was filmed a while after some of the episodes in this series, as Michael is no longer blonde (or as good with women suddenly, having been presented as being a bit of a stud earlier on in S8), and Susan's hair is blonder and longer.

Anyway, back to the episode itself. There's some lovely moments here, and it's nice to see Ben happy. Sometimes he seems to be in a grump for no real reason.

With a decent B plot too involving Alfie and Michael this is a good episode overall
