This one off TV film was a nice idea, badly executed.
The plot is the main characters meeting up at Ferdys funeral, then being filmed for some documentary for a one of get together to celebrate their lives based on Eggs fictional successful book based on their time as housemates.
To me, the script is contrived, it lacks depth, like they forgot eat made the show good.
Starting off, music. During the series, it was generally subtle, and it really worked, but for + 10 it based overbearing, like they are trying to drown out the fact that the script, the plot is pretty empty.
Other gripes include, how did Ferdy actually die? Its like they thought that leaving it a mystery would enhance it, but it backfired, if someone's friend/acquaintance had died young, you'd be guaranteed they would talking about it in some way.
Other gripes are more about how it doesn't tie in well with the ending of the second series. For instance, Milly and Egg getting back together, after she two timed him? It's possible, but not the most likeliest, no mention of Miles first wife on real terms.
The documentary subplot seems a bit ridiculous, as does the ending scenes, such as the "suicide" attempt - do you really think thr documentary maker was interested in making a snuff movie?
The whole thing seems like a legendary band reforming, to record a new album, said new album gets hyped to the gills, and although passable, you just know if your heart of hearts, is s***.
