Tasty, tasty – very, very tasty.
I liked all the Arthur Dent references – apparently the apple and the satsuma come from the HHGTTG adventure game.
“Ginger – I always wanted to be ginger” is a quote from Terry Pratchett’s Greebo, I believe,
And the Prime Minister’s call at the end was a nice touch of darkness/realism to balance rather a soppy ending.
Kids were very keen to watch the episode for a second time too – although Captain Enthusiastic had to be shushed to stop him quoting the dialogue two seconds ahead of the actors – first viewing clearly made a strong impression.
