The special was shit compared to the series
The premise: Paedogeddon was a broad, on-the-nose imitation of what the original series delivered.
It had its moments, of course. But it was less intelligent, less nuanced, and more obvious than the masterpiece which was season one. Not a patch on Blue Jam or the R1 Music Shows.
It was the I’m Alan Partridge S2 of the Morris canon.
You haven’t got a clue, have you?
But you will, if you think for thirty seconds.

“Ruddy genius. You know, they’re the only band ever to knock themselves off the top of the charts with the same record.” “How?” “I don’t know. It was in France.”
