Skit: Luckless in Latakia

Original Release Date: 2nd January 2016

Throwback Review Date: 17th September 2016

Score: 3 out of 5 (good)

Inspiration: With Motley and Sidriss (like Folly and Gretel before them) settled in foreign climes, it was inevitable that we (like Hordriss) would be paying them a New Year visit. This skit demonstrates an eclectic mix of inspiration, from I Dream of Jeannie to Knightmare Live, via Blackadder and One Foot in the Grave, and our naughty cat makes her presence felt through Betsemane, just as she did through Kimberlite in the main series.

Comments: It's another fun ride through the strange and surreal. The illusion of Motley shaking off his crowd of drunken followers is achieved particularly well in my opinion.
