Better than expected.

Taskmaster.

The finale.

It's indefensible really, and shamefully petty, but I am so glad Daisy May Cooper didn't win.

Poor old Katherine Parkinson - at some points throughout this series she really did seem so off the pace as to be genuinely like her clueless character from The IT Crowd.

His Dark Materials

Maybe I've missed it, but nobody seems to have commented on this ?

I've not read the books, but am I alone in thinking the TV adaptation on the whole fairly slow and a bit dull ?

The guy in the balloon with Moriarty seem to have been just going nowhere for ages, until finally they got to blow up some airships. But still haven't actually got anywhere.

People flit in and out of this deserted city which is supposed to be creepy and haunted by these mysterious spectres that kill all the adults. But by God they're slow about it as the Lord whats-his-face and Mrs Coulter and now the Irish Scientist wander in and out of it week after week with no sign of any threat whatsoever. Until evil Mrs finally decides to take control of them, when we've barely seen them for weeks anyway.

It's taken about 4 episodes for anything at all to happen - and an exceptionally clunky start of episode voice-over info dump which finally explained what the hell was going on in terms of the knife and parallel worlds etc, only for Terence (Kneel Before Zod) Stamp to repeat this all in actual dialogue only minutes later in the same episode ? Cue some long overdue actual action where people fight over knives and compasses and jump about between worlds.

And then episodes 5 and 6 revert back to normal and seem to be desperately eeking out some sparse and precious grains of actual action in amongst more padding until the final episode comes, which as per usual with modern TV drama, will no doubt just be an inconclusive come-back-for-the-3rd-series let down.

Even the brief bursts where I can see "OK, this is supposed to be a momentous or important or exciting bit" just seem to fall curiously flat ?
