Diabolical times have resumed in Yonderland this week, as it seems that the Chosen One’s retirement was decidedly premature.
While Pete’s off to do business in sunny Glasgow, Debbie’s leaving do is appropriately touching (and fluffy, so fluffy!) but not-so-Cuddly Dick is quick to sow the seeds of dissent among the people of the realm. Gasp! Shock! Horror!
What follows is a desperate cry for help from the elders, culminating in a spot-on pastiche of the beloved heist film genre, an adventure that sees Debbie and Elf assist the elders in a ridiculous caper to recover the kidnapped Nick the Stick from the Headquarters of Evil.
And poor Negatus, kind of. He just wants to do his evil thing, and everyone else had to go and recognise his relative ineptitude. Bad times, but Cuddly Dick seems keen enough to invite Negatus into his evil inner circle of doom, albeit in an appropriately lavatorial level of responsibility. I suspect this will not go without protest for long – and whatever will become of his evicted demon minions? I’m not sure they’re properly equipped to live without supervision.
Of course, nothing can go wrong with the Elders currently having a slumber party in Debbie’s attic. I look forward to seeing the harmonious and pleasant times that ensue.
(And in future times that I find myself feeling depressed, I suspect a supercut of every time someone mentions Cuddly Dick by name will be enough to send me into stitches.)
Aired at 6.30pm on Sunday 23 October 2016 on Sky1.
