Retrospective in Television

Thank God You're Here - Hormonal imbalance

From the twink and the screen blinks on with the white coat of Nish trying to fish his way around the tank. Funtabulator with no real reason for existence. Certainly none at all. Yet the carve up for the explanation seems plausible enough. Not far from the look of finding a few fingers rubbing hard for that, that, what that is. Just not right in front of the mind but on the tip of the tongue kind of solution to no problem.

Fronting later, Hamish Blake in school and ready to just back up and off from having his back up against wall. Confrontational, and a little on the blue, with the feeling that it's all ripe for a litany of cussing and obscene gestures. That's what school is all about. But not in this school and flavour fluff comedy is on the agenda.

Cross dressing the covers of the group challenge, Blake, Nish, Kate Langbroek and Merrick Watts ham it up far less than the a la source material itself. Their direct approach to peeling back the lipstick layers is all class and crass. And it works. Edgy, forthright and Langbroek just all eager to talk about menstruation on national TV. Nish off on the side is not there in both senses and the whole weight sits on the table. Balancing it out, Langbroek waxes out with the win.
