Make Up A Better Ending???

How would you change Series six?

I would have Sally's millionaire fiancee take Damien's drugs sample, so he goes bananas and writes everyone a cheque for a million or two.

Here's how they'd spend it.

Gus - buys Globelink, but he's the only one left in the building
Joy - enjoys a sunny villa
Sally - has her husband put in a sanitarium
Henry - is the owner and judge of mud wrestlemania
Dave - passes a betting shop
Damien - goes into space
George - goes to australia and has his own ambulance on standby.

It ended perfectly. Life doesn't always work out the way you want it to.

And for a TV show to end this way? Instead of neat and tidy resolves, where everybody's happy? WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

For a while, it seemed as if George was going to have a happy ending and Joy was going to have an unhappy ending. I would have kept it that way: it would have been a nice reversal from the normal state of affairs, whereby George was always unlucky and Joy always came out on top. Perhaps Joy could have tried to assault the man who conned her but be restrained by some security guards, and then she'd storm off disappointed.

There was a notable lack of Deborah in Series 6. I would have added her in the last episode. George could have gone to Australia with Sue, and then discovered Deborah amongst some organised criminals there.

I didn't like how Dave left the party in Series 6 without saying goodbye to anyone. I think he should've been enjoying himself at the start, but then disappear when Henry turned up.
