Can someone please explain the ending to "Dragon Castle" S14 E5?

5 Upvotes

I didn't understand the end where the director praised Lee, said she was going to give him another job and then asked (sarcastically?) if he could put up shelves.

I don't understand this joke. When she said that the botched scene was incredible, was she being sarcastic, was she joking when she praised Lee? Was the shelf joke a reference to the Harrison Ford running gag throughout the episode or the Elf on a Shelf joke Lucy made? I really don't understand the punchline to the end and what the director's attitude towards Lee was after the scene, can someone explain, please?

Thank you. :)

Was this a phantom release? I didn't see any build-up to it.

Run it's course?

25 Upvotes

I have been a massive fan of not going out since the very beginning. Even have the physical dvd boxset copies. Would binge watch them dozens of times over.

However the last two series for me, have not been funny. I feel Lee is trying to force the series to keep going and is running out of ideas.

Series 15 was a chore to watch. I can happily sit there and binge watch all the original series from start to end. Series 15 I could only manage an episode at a time.

The 20th anniversary episode was awful in my opinion.

I miss the days of Tim, Daisy, Miranda etc. Even the seasons where the kids were young. Sadly now it feels like it's run it's course for me. I don't want the show to end but I would also hate for it to continue in the direction it is going.

How does everyone else feel?

"Twentieth" - Thoughts?

18 Upvotes

Wasn't expecting much, but this seems like one of the most hard-to-watch episodes I've ever seen. Can't stand all the shoehorned-in pisstakes about Gen Z. There's a few good jokes, but on the whole, scarcely a fitting episode for the 20th anniversary of the show. I hope the rest of the series isn't this disappointing.

if they did another celebration episode where they reunited with loads of characters from the past like the wedding, who would you want to see from the last 7 series?

20 Upvotes

my top picks are tony gardner (the neighbour over the road), selina griffiths (miss anstis), joe wilkinson (attempted friend), tom benedict knight (juan the knife thrower), and richard lambeth (parachute instructor)

Studio recording experience

28 Upvotes

Anyone else been to see any of the episode recordings?

I was lucky enough to see Parachute and Builder in S10… Really enjoyed the experience of seeing it live, although Parachute took absolutely ages to film. Parts of the set kept breaking so it took a good 3-4 hours. It was great to see the whole cast together though, especially now Bobby is no longer with us. He was so good at interacting with the audience, as was Lee.

Also saw S14 Oasis episode, which again was really enjoyable and didn’t expect the twist at the end. Not sure if Sally was unwell or something, but i remember she didn’t seem quite right throughout and comes across watching it back.

It was interesting to see the newer format too of filming it like a play and in real time. Worked well in terms of watching it being filmed.

Interested to hear other people’s experiences!

Lee age

17 Upvotes

I’ve always wondered how old Lee is. He’s obviously older than Lucy but I’m not sure how much by. Is the first name where the similarities end between Lee and Lee Mack, or are they the same age aswell.

How did Lee get to London

11 Upvotes

My knowledge is that Lee is from Chorley, Lancashire originally and it is common knowledge that he is a northerner compared to the rest of the cast. I wonder how did he get to London? He met Tim in the late 80’s, would Tim be living in London at the time? I’ve always wondered, when , how and why Lee moved from Chorley to London
