TV fans it's not uncommon for a TV show to make a very popular side character or a recurring character a main character. However in this case of this show and of this episode it came at the expense of the main character and that hurt the writing of the show which is a shame because this show has consistently been very well written and so join me as I review the episode that proves that you can have to much of a good thing with the episode in question being called simply just "Will the Real Aunt Sally...?" enjoy.
The plot of this episode is when another Aunt Sally is seen in the village poor Worzel has to decide which is his real Aunt Sally and which one isn't. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad but at the same time it's quite clearly not the best plot that this show had since it's missing that special charm that made all of the plots works so well in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this episode is Doctor Who star Jon Pertwee as Worzel Gummidge and Jeremy Austin as John Peters. Also starring in this episode is Charlotte Coleman as Sue Peters , Geoffrey Bayldon as The Crowman , Fawlty Towers co-creator , co-writer and star Connie Booth as Aunt Sally II , Kate David as The Traffic Warden , Michael Ripper as Mr. Shepherd , Una Stubbs as Aunt Sally and Last Of The Summer Wine star Sarah Thomas as Miss Maple.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty really good. Which is the something that could be said for every episode of this fantastic show and it really helps that the scripts for this show even this episode is s good that all the cast have to do is say the words as their written and a good performance really will come out very naturally.
Usually when I watch an episode of this show i'm usually stuck wondering how they achieved certain effects. Which is something that just wasn't the case for this episode since all they did was just hide the actors face whenever the two Aunt Sallie's appeared early on in the episode and that was it which was great because it's effect that worked well and since it's such a simple effect it's also a really effective one as well since it leaves us the audience wondering which one was the real one as well and so that we the audience really can now play along with the characters of this episode.
Sadly series four is where they really started to overuse the Aunt Sally character with the character being in pretty much every episode of this season of the show. Which meant that we very sadly got alot of the same plot for this series and alot less focus on Worzel Gummidge which is a shame because that's when the show was at it's whimsical best and while yes we did get some Aunt Sally episodes in those earlier seasons those where often saved for big emotional episodes which in alot of cases did make you cry.
This episode also doesn't make Aunt Sally a more likable character either since she tricks the person who owns her into thinking Aunt Sally II is her and so Aunt Sally II goes away crying because she now won't get to marry the person that she loves. Which does make Aunt Sally seem a bit jealous since she's so used to being the only fairground attraction their but at the same time she really didn't have to get involved with Aunt Sally II and make her miserable as it really doesn't effect her since she'd still be free to whatever she wants to do.
This episode really does lack the emotional punch that alot of Aunt Sally episodes have just because you can see the ending coming a mile away. This is also because the character is so overused at this point that you know exactly how this episode is going to end which means that any and all emotional impact that this episodes ending might have had is now gone because you already know exactly how it's going to end and when you can see the ending coming a mile away then there's something that's quite clearly wrong with this episode.
Now then I cannot for the absolutely life of me remember whatever this episodes running time even was but I do know that for a fact that this episode has / had an exact grand total running time of roughly twenty six minuets. Which is pretty much the bogstanderd running time for this show and to this episodes credit it does make good use of this running time and it has more the enough there in terms of story to cover that running time I only wish that we got to spend more time with Aunt Sally II just so that her character could be a bit more fully developed then what it already is.
So now then since is a comedy that means that I have to actually talk about the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual comedy that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty pretty weak. This is because we don't get alot of time with Worzel trying to work out which Aunt Sally is his Aunt Sally which is a shame because that's when we do get some good comedy in this episode and the same thing goes with the two Aunt Sallie's just missing each other as well since there are some good jokes in those types of moments and scenes in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this was a pretty weak but it's not as weak as "A Little Learning" was since there is still a point and there is still conflict to be found in this episode and that does make all the difference in my freaking opinions anyways / at least. Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this very review and as such that means that this very episode earns itself a grand old score of exactly a 7 out of 10 from me.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very review from Wikipedia , Amazon . Co . Uk and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very review being the wonderful Google Images since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on Google Images are all fairly high in quality and as well as being really fairly freaking high in definition.
