[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 203748, member: 23"] [U][SIZE=6]Episodes 269-272[/SIZE][/U] [I](...continued)[/I] Morag continues to be a mass of contradictions. On the one hand there’s Nigel telling Roo about his own backstory: On the other, there’s the woman herself plotting to bag Roo someone else’s boyfriend. Or scheming revenge against the daughter she abandoned eighteen years ago. Or trying to convince Roo to become a mole for Gordon Macklin: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/p2B6mY.jpg[/IMG] Roo then tells Stacey. Stacey has her own ideas. She’s busy running down her future husband to her father: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/Tv6hoQ.jpg[/IMG] Roo and Morag settle in to watch Bobby and Donald’s chat show appearance on television. [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/wqaFvU.jpg[/IMG][IMG]https://i.vgy.me/YMoAnE.jpg[/IMG] But Morag isn’t happy when her name is mentioned on air: [IMG]https://i.vgy.me/wudbHa.jpg[/IMG] A little like when Valene Ewing appeared on [I]The Mike Douglas Show,[/I] it’s fun to see these fish out of water scenarios. It’s equally fun to see the characters become “us”, sitting watching TV. Morag in particular is really funny in this scenario, eyes flashing, nostrils flaring and steam coming out of her ears as she starts bellowing at the set regarding a situation over which she has no control at all, like a football fan criticising the ref from the comfort of their sofa: And if she’s unhappy at that point, you know she’s not going to like Bobby’s response any better: I was surprised how little the "going on TV" scenario was used to further develop the relationship between Bobby and Donald. They’re not back from the city yet, so maybe there’ll be some post-show dissection, but at the moment all we’ve seen is them arriving in the studio which is novel, but not especially significant.
