Five Go to Rehab (Comic Strip Presents)
When i watched the comic strip presents five go to rehab special it was so good,the characters,the setting,the writing,the modernization....and the ending. I felt some nostalgia (even though I only discovered the comic strip presents last year),to the start of five go mad in dorset (which was also around the time I was on one of my first weeks at college) to five go to rehab (where I’m moving further on with college work since I started last September)
I loved how the characters were the same despite the changes they had being slightly older (Ade as Dick was the best in my opinion)
the setting...now I knew when I started the five go mad series that it reminded me of Higurashi a bit...also around this time I met some mates on discord who would sometimes talk about conservative politics and I thought that in the future this would be a great idea for a group cosplay...a year later and that discord friend group is broken well one half of it, kind of like how the rest of the “famous five” didn't like the reunion Dick had set up for them.
the modernization...Rik’s character looked like he belonged in Pulp Fiction...but a lot of the jokes made me laugh,chuckle and giggle throughout...I did not expect the jokes to be that funny
the ending...now I’m a emotionless person sometimes to the point where I can’t physically cry,but that ending,with Toby’s kids,my generation saying they loved the Famous five and that they didn't see them as old and dated they looked up to them (I felt that) only for them to go off on their own similar adventures while the famous five went “to the pub”.
that was so good I forced myself to cry because the emotion I felt internally was incredible
even though it wasn't last comic strip film (I haven’t seen Red Top yet) it felt like a good send off for me (since it had all of the original cast before they moved on to work on other projects or left the world entirely).
I think I made Nigel's older self look too young looking oops ^-^ Richie Rich looks like a lunch lady but I'm quite happy with how I drew the rest especially Ade
Nigel Planner (John Fairfax) in Death in Paradise season 7 episode 2 The Stake are High
Nigel Planer (vocals) revives “Neil” from the short-lived yet highly influential BBC-TV program The Young Ones on Neil’s Heavy Concept Album (1984). Although the show was set in the 1980s, Neil’s lifestyle centers around the mid- to late-‘60s hippie culture, an exceedingly antiquated notion directly contrasting his ultra-mod housemates. This explains the inclusion of the fairly wide selection of psychedelic and progressive nuggets amidst the spoken links and occasional originals. The idea for the long-player stemmed from his version of Traffic’s early side “Hole in My Shoe” – which came out as a single. When Planer appeared in character to promote it on BBC 2’s Top of the Pops, he lost his footing, resulting in the backdrop falling apart and causing general mayhem on live television. The tune is given a lighthearted romp with notable session musician Rick Biddulph (guitar) working in phrases of the Beatles’ “Strawberry Fields Forever” during the waning moments. Other fun covers are Tomorrow’s “My White Bicycle,” Syd Barrett-era Pink Floyd on “The Gnome,” Donovan’s “Hurdy Gurdy Man,” and “The Amoeba Song,” aka the Incredible String Band’s “A Very Cellular Song.” Caravan’s “Golf Girl” is worth additional mention, as it features a cameo voice-over from Dawn French – half of the comedy team French & Saunders – as (of all things) a policewoman. Instrumentally, Planer is supported by an all-star cast that includes Dave Stewart (keyboards/bass/drum/guitar), Barbara Gaskin (backing vocals), Pip Pyle (drums), Jakko M. Jakszyk (guitars), and jazz heavy Annie Whitehead (trombone), as well as Jimmy Hastings, who at one time was a primary contributor to the aforementioned prog rock outfit Caravan. “Lentil Nightmare” is a tremendously amusing Planer-penned composition that, among other things, quotes “In the Court of the Crimson King” by King Crimson amidst the proto-heavy progressive metal madness. The connecting bits of dialogue provide an outlet for Planer’s quirky and earthy humor. Also of note is “Neil the Barbarian,” a parody of a movie advert where Neil – a strict vegan – eats a hamburger, which transforms him into this superhero-type character. All said, Neil’s Heavy Concept Album is thoroughly entertaining and recommended for inclined parties.
