05/20/2006: "Alan, Joanna and Martin are on the edge"

Greatly enjoyed the latest episode of Green Wing and the wonderfully brave decision to create a second literal cliff-hanger, with three key members of the cast perched precariously over the ocean in a camper van. At the end of the last season, the same scenario had been played out with an ambulance. As Karl Marx once observed in the Eighteenth Brumaire, the great events of history have a habit of repeating themselves: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce. I’m not sure what he would have made of radiologist Alan Statham though.
