Last week's Cucumber had a laid back feel so it was interesting to see things take a turn to the worse for Henry as his film work with Adam was discovered. Julie Hesmondhall's response to Henry was brilliant. I never really watched her in Coronation Street but she has certainly proved a good actor to cross over to this show. The last scene between Henry and Lance was also brilliant, with them not getting back together.
This week's episode of Banana dealt with a slightly less harrowing theme so it's not surprising it felt like a lesser episode. Having said that, I enjoyed it more than Sian's episode which ranks the lowest so far in my estimation. Luke Newberry already proved he was a good actor in In the Flesh and he continued it here as Josh, a student who returns to his hometown for his best friend, Sophie's, wedding day. This episode dealt with how people can drift away from each other. It's a theme that can resonate for many people, including myself.
Tofu was pretty funny, talking about the fantasies that people have. Some of them were pretty funny but then again most people probably have embarrassing fantasies. It was also funny to see the three men sketch again.
The three main shows were all pretty good but were best bit by far was this week's special, Screwdriver. If you though Julie Hesmondhall's performance in the main show was good then this tales that even further.
We're more than halfway through the shows now and it certainly looks like this is one of the best shows of the year.
