So who is in and how do we do this? After all, it's a rather short series and normally I'd simply finish it over the weekend. If you guys would do the same, then we could just 3+3...?
Another thought I had was, we could do one at a time and always wait until everyone posted their review before moving on to the next one. (Kind of a bit of self-torture, honoring what Pete is putting himself through a little bit...)

"IT department. Have you tried turning off and then on again?"
1. From Hell
A great start into the third series, showing right away that Graham Linehan still has it in him (which he will hopefully keep proving throughout the next episodes). Was laughing at the opening credits (had forgotten about them) and then the laughs just kept coming.

Tip:
Leave the main menu unattended for a while and an Easter Egg will appear.

This episode wasn't so good. The storylines were all done thousand times before and except for a few lines, it wasn't really funny.

2. Are We Not men?
Hilarious how Roy and Moss blend in with "proper men"; bluffball.com provides the needed phrases for conversation on a daily basis. There is a few scenes that have less laughs than usual but they are needed to set up the plot and the whole episode feels more complete that way.
...and of course there is also the driving instructor.

3. Tramps Like Us
Trying to say something shouldn't be in the way of the comedy. Too much time was spent with too little meaning (the Roy thread) and the rest was pretty much all over the place (from a few good laughs all the way to cringe-worthy). It's still funny, just not as funny as it should be.

4. The Speech
Back to form after the slowdown that was episode 3 I had tears in my eyes from laughing. Jen is awarded Employee of the Month and must hold a speech for the stock holders. Roy and Moss decide to help in order to play a practical joke. Meanwhile Douglas has an affair with a reporter who has an unusual past, but he doesn't care. Both storylines ultimately come together in a hilarious climax.

5. Friendface
Social network Friendface on the internet has everyone going crazy. Roy reconnects unwillingly with an old girlfriend of his, whom Jen suggests he should tell in person why they broke up. Jen on the other hand meets old school friends and is invited to the reunion. Intending to show off she takes Moss to pretend ot be her husband. All this plays out with an array of good jokes and on the side mocks social networks and the problems they create.
