Superb episode - Ignore the critics!


I really don't watch TAG that much but this episode was superb. It combined the old with the new. A times very humorous and also the element of danger with the two crooks.

Some people have criticized the crooks as not scary enough! Excuse me......did they not see the brick thrown through the sitting room window smashing it up and Penelope and Sylvia genuinely worried? If it was too scary then these same critics would be up in arms that children were too frightened!

The idea of FAB Zero meeting FAB 1 was brilliant.

The character of Great Aunt Sylvia is a masterstroke and I do hope Sylvia Anderson is invited back in future episodes.

Well done ITV: you have pulled a Christmas cracker of an episode!

As David Baddiel wrote this episode I am not surprised he has been invited to write another episode in Series 2. ITV obviously see talent and hold onto it. Mr Baddiel is of an age when he grew up watching the original tv series and his love for it is reflected in his writing of this brilliant episode.


Marks out of 10? A BIG 10 :)

Some good dialogue in that one as well. Parker's 'and his grandfather before him...oh, hang on, I'm not that old,' and 'Are you thinking what I'm thinking?' No I do not know what you are thinking Terry, because you are thicker than a bag of rocks', both made me laugh
