I was deffinately looking forward to it and it didn't disappoint really.
The first scene with Clegg and Truley looked a bit strange, at first i thought it was possibly a nuance of the HD camera but soon realised it was more likely to be green screen, which has been confirmed by other members.
I think what we need to realise, is that both Roy and the production team are probably doing the best that they can with what is left of the orignal cast and the newbies, such as Hobbo and Toby.
It seems like this final series could well have been written so that the previous episode is flowing over into the next, the endings seem to keep the door open so as the next episode has slight links with the previous one.
Toby dragging Morton into the library, for a book to keep his "philandering" mind off Toby's estranged missus, carries over from the previous episode where Morton is supposed to help bring Toby and his wife back together.
Howard, looking for solace and Albania, is again a nod to last weeks episode, so if i'm right, i see this series working it's way towards a theme that connects each episode and hopefully culminating into a fitting end to the programme.
Only my opinion of course...But i offer it up, for what it's worth!
All in all, i'm enjoying the series and i'm trying my best not to annalise each episode, just to enjoy it for what it is, a damn good comedy programme.
