"1997. When terrorists were Irish". As an Irish man that hurt - because I laughed so bloody hard. But seriously, great banter 👏.

'Immigration' / 'its complicated'. Absolute genius script writing, casting and delivery.

[@vordman]

Alan's mild irritation at Simon on 40secs. Haha. This show is so brilliant you can watch every epsode half a dozen times and still spot new stuff.

[@DeanPattrick]

Comedy gold.

[@momotheelder7124]

Alan's definition of madness: pizza menus and an invoice from the window cleaner.

[@paulrouhan7288]

Lib Dem leaflet...

[@josemaria8177]

Every college campus has at least one Blackbird. Julian Barratt played his character perfectly. I hope he comes back in a new series of This Time

[@wungabunga]

I'd like to see more of him and Matt Berry. Perhaps less of Noel Fielding.

[@ethzero]

@@wungabunga Less Noel Fielding? I think we're going to get a few comments about that. And immigration.

[@stanistevens]

Also notice how annoyed Blackbird gets any time Sidekick Simon touches his guitar - 2:41 and 3:48.

[@edwardbaran9326]

it's a wonderful comic detail when Alan reveals the pad to the camera and shows he's been so bored listening to the song he's drawn a massive doodle of the word 'spellbinding'

[@Geshreeyeh]

That writing appears in an earlier episode, so unless they aren't chronological, it's a error (just an observation; I won't lose any sleep over it!).

[@nickgray123]

2:42 - the "don't do that" look

[@cautionTosser]

Right! I'm on my way to the Old Rectory. Who's with me?

[@77jamess]

He did rescue all those Cub Scouts. So go easy on him.

[@powerbite92]

Got the impression that he didn't really save any cub scouts and that the song was embellishing past events in the name of poetic licence.

[@Spectrescup]

@@powerbite92 oh he saved them all right. Saved them for later.

[@li4398]

Count me in! Baz, Daz, Gaz and Edwin are all in as well 😀

[@sukhdeepbhamera6151]

Does anyone else think that the opening words and opening few moments of that song were beautiful.

[@andyharpist2938]

Not deep enough. But here's Alan's better words: Deep like a mystic's gaze are my words for you Lucid depths sink my thoughts anew I see at last your mind is true Deep and complete. Soon I will be asleep, like Sukhdeep.
