REVIEW: Most Haunted - Series 21 Episode 3 (2nd February 2018) Llanfylin Workhouse Pt 2


It's that time of the week again, whereby I drag my decaying corpse out of the coffin, because I have to review Most Haunted Off Camera. A show so bad that even the hardcore fans have run out of excuses for the nonsense.

 After last weeks truly terrible episode, this week is the second part. So with that, I go and find Karl Beattie's oldest pair of trainers, I wipe the excess dog excrement off, I place a piece of paper on the floor, and press the trainers down on the paper. As I pull the paper away, clear as day is the blurb for this weeks episode.

 "Spook-searching with Yvette and co! Whatever was making itself known to the team at Llanfylin workhouse is still evident as something seems to be following Yvette from the shadows."

 Quick predictions for this episode.
1. Yvette will scream at nothing.
2. Glen will be touched by Yvette.
3. Stuart will say something, and immediately the opposite will happen.
4. Stuart will act in a suspicious manner.

 We start off with overly long highlights from the previous episode, just to remind us of how bad it was, and also to fill some time.

 Straight back into the investigation.

Glen is having to bite his own finger to try and prevent an unfortunate bulge as Yvette grips the girth of his forearm tightly.

 Yvette is claiming to hear tapping and groans, but the replay shows that there is no sound.

 Stuart and Karl can hear a slight tapping sound, which could easily just be a drip from the roof etc.

 Back with Yvette and she is whistling "God Save The Queen".

 Darren then claims he is "not making a subconscious noise" after Yvette says she can hear something. Do you think someone should tell Darren what subconscious means?

 A door has opened a tiny bit, but since there was no continuous shot, this cannot be considered evidence of anything other than someone opening the door and not closing it properly between takes.

 Back with Karl and Stuart and there is a hilarious moment whereby Karl does this weird blinking thing and then claims to have seen something, when the camera turns, a wire hanging from the roof is moving slightly. It is so incredibly fake, it is laughable.

 I am instantly reminded of this popular GIF

It truly is Karl's worst acting moment.

 Suddenly someone has spotted some water on the floor that wasn't there before.

I know he hasn't been spotted yet in the new series, but perhaps Watson is on location, but has just been edited out, and this right here might be the reason! 

 Naughty Watson did a piddle on the floor.

 Yvette gathers everyone to do a Ouija Board, but is quickly interrupted by Karl who has heard something upstairs, so all of them then go upstairs. Lots of banging, taping, and a chair suddenly gets thrown OFF CAMERA.

 So many people, so many cameras, yet not a single shot of it happening. They are really pushing this new term "recall event" (When something happens when you leave an area), guessing they want ghost hunters to start using it.

 Karl is now at the bottom of the stairs, and there is a noise OFF CAMERA, and of course as we turn the corner, Stuart is there. 

 It is always quite amusing listening to Yvette and Stuart talk for the ghosties, telling us what they do and don't want.

 Yvette wants to get back to doing a Ouija board, Stuart says "they wont let us", quick edit and...

As even the most amateurish of Ghost Hunters know, there is only a couple of  ways to do a Ouija Board, whereby you can eliminate cheating.

 1. Blindfold everyone taking part.
2. Remove any direct friction that could cause it to move.

Let's see which controls Most Haunted use?

And they use no controls whatsoever. We are talking the most basic of controls to make sure there is no cheating, and they use nothing. They are all in direct contact with the planchette, all able to move it and all able to see the board.

 The reason why they don't use controls is because funnily enough they have done so before, they once did a Ouija Board with blindfolds and guess what happened? Nothing coherent came out. As for friction controls, well Yvette once (and only once) tried to do a ouija board while wearing gloves, and totally gave the game away when she went to push the glass, and her gloved finger slid across the glass, exposing 100% that she was trying to push it.

 And guess what, here is that footage.


So they KNOW controls that can eliminate cheating, and they deliberately do not use them. This to me is them 100% admitting that they cheat.

Here is an interesting shot. Stuart clearly has hair stubble growth. Is his alopecia a scam? Make your own mind up.

 As expected the planchette starts to move. It spells out "DIE".

 Watching them closely it is pretty clear that Karl and Stuart are the people deliberately moving it.

 It spells out David Davies

Hilariously they are using a Most Haunted branded Ouija Board. Is this for sale? Is this a new gimmick they are going to bring out soon to sell to gullible idiots?

 It then gives the number 1929, and we get this helpful graphic on screen.

Fred had this info on him in his list, so with no controls, information they had on them, on location, was spelled out on a Ouija Board perfectly. Anyone buying this?

 Bizarrely Yvette keeps calling this ghost "Davvid" instead of "David". Very suspicious.

 They've left the Ouija Board, and are up and down the stairs and generally hearing things. Yvette is now whistling. It is so annoying.

 There is at least 10 of them involved in this, plus a few more we never get to see. It is ridiculous having so many people involved.

 You could have 1 less person involved, and use the money that would have paid them, to buy some cheap GoPro style cameras, and leave them all around the place. That would solve so many problems. But of course it would also make faking things much harder, so you can understand why they don't.

 The teams split up again, and Yvette is hearing breathy sounds again, probably Glen hidden in a corner in the dark with his hand in a place it shouldn't be.

Stuart's hair is definitely growing back as they film this episode.

Glen looks well pissed off that he has been separated from Yvette and stuck with Fred. Not much chance of a crafty bum squeeze with Fred there.

 Something has been thrown OFF CAMERA again.

 Ok here is something for you all to go check, at exactly 29m.54s, watch Stuart carefully as he puts something in his pocket, I am guessing Stuart was the person who threw the thing before, perhaps he has picked something up ready to be thrown later. 

We then get 3 replays of Karl pretending to hear something on his right hand side despite there being no one there. Not sure what the point of a replay is here.

 Whatever happened to the days of Stuart passing out or falling down stairs, those were the good old days.

 Damn this episode is dragging. Nothing of note has happened other than a few OFF CAMERA incidents and the faked Ouija Board nonsense.

 "Is anybody there? Tap once for yes, twice for no"

Yvette can hear tapping, so they ask downstairs if Fred can hear tapping, they ask him if he hears it on the ceiling or the floor, and he says ceiling. 

 I will let you figure that one out. But the stupid is definitely strong in this episode.

 Karl then claims he can see a flashing light off camera. The camera turns around, and it is clearly just the reflection from one of the camera's screens.

You can see in this shot how the door is reflective and reflecting the light of the camera. (Thought this was supposed to be in the dark and with night vision?)

 There is also a window in the room, and as the camera pans quickly, you can see lights in the distance, so any shadows, lights etc could be almost anything from kids with torches having a laugh, to car headlights, to street lamps, anything.

 A professionally run ghost hunt would black out all windows to prevent outside light pollution.

 As they continue to walk about, something has been thrown OFF CAMERA. And some more piss water has appeared on the floor.

 WATSON!!!!!

Yvette says the noise sounded like a metal bowl, now what on earth would you use a metal bowl for?

All 240 of the crew member are stumped as to what could have caused the water.
Yvette decides to ask the ghost and gets two taps as confirmation.

 Yvette whispers to herself. "What has water got to do with anything?"

They are in deep discussion about the water.

 The perfect pay off to this scene would be to Stuart to suddenly appear and be soaked head to toe in water. But alas they are not smart enough to do that.

 Ok, let's be reasonable here. Someone has a bottle of water with them, and they have taken the top off, chucked a bit, then hidden it again in their coat.

The idea that 10 or more people would do an all night investigation, without at least one of them having one bottle of water is ridiculous.

 Suddenly there is a big noise OFF CAMERA. After a quick look around they find a tap.

Could have been anyone, perhaps that is what Stuart hid in his pocket earlier.

 They all get excited about the connection between a tap and water.

 They tease about checking the EVP recorder, but a voice over tells us it was fruitless, so guessing Glen forgot to edit in any sounds.

As the episode draws to a close and they start to leave, a pillow has appeared on the floor. Again OFF CAMERA.

 An OFF CAMERA incident pretty much sums up this episode.

 Another slog through mediocrity. 

 Another terrible episode. 1 out of 10.

REVIEW: Most Haunted - Series 21 Episode 2 (26th January 2018) Llanfylin Workhouse Pt 1


I am back, after the huge outrage from the snowflakes, regarding last week's review. I was accused of "fat shaming" Yvette Fielding. And why I hear you ask? Because I used an old saying "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips", to describe Yvette Fielding as it appeared she was looking curvier than usual.

The fact I complimented Yvette throughout the previous review, goes to prove that people just look for offence where there is none.

 So to Yvette Fielding, a woman I know reads these reviews, I am sure you took my comments in the light hearted spirit they were meant. I personally think you look great, and the curves suit you. Now why you are with that old wrinkly scrotum of a man in Karl Beattie I will never know. 

 And with the word scrotum already used, that can only mean one thing, BLURB!

 "Spook-searching with Yvette and co!. Yvette and the team are pushed to the limits on a memorable visit to Llanfylin workhouse to discover why anyone would stay after they had died."

 Everyone thoroughly enjoyed my predictions last time, so I thought I would do them again. Also I promise you these predictions are legit, I don't come back and edit them, or add to them, it is what I predict will happen.

 1. Something will be thrown OFF CAMERA.
2. There will be a carefully choreographed pre-planned, scripted argument.
3. Fred will say something strange.
4. Yvette and Glen will hold hands in a suspicious manner.
5. Yvette will tell people to ssshhhh.
6. Fred will blame something on a demon.

This week we are at an old Workhouse, they seem to do a lot of ghost hunts at these old work houses.

What on earth is Yvette wearing here. Last week she had on a nice pair of tight trousers that showed off her lovely figure, this week she has some kind of sack wrapped around her waste? How bizarre.

 Message to Yvette, you have a lovely womanly figure, don't let anyone tell you to cover up. Be proud. 

 (Is this Sack Shaming? Snowflakes feel free to leave me abuse in the comments section, I wont approve it, but I do read it all.)

What a lovely looking place, someone needs to buy it and turn it into a hotel or a pub.

 Yvette and Glen are talking about the ghost of "The Master", can I say here and now, I am alive and well, and my ghost is not haunting the Llanfylin Workhouse.

 "I have every reason to believe everything you are telling me" - Glen to Yvette.

I am guessing that Glen has never watched Most Haunted in his life.

 I wonder if they are a bit short on footage for this episode, as there is a lot of talking between Yvette and Glen at the start about the place. Keep this for your podcast guys, no one really cares to watch Most Haunted to hear you talk about what people may or may not have done when they were alive. We are here to see you throw stones, fall over and generally make fools of yourself.

 Blimey, just fast forward through the first 13 minutes, this is monotonous. 

No idea who this guy is, but he is having fun it seems.

 As they finish the first very long scene, they turn the lights off and suddenly something is thrown OFF CAMERA. 

Yvette is convinced it was a light bulb, but since the floor is covered with crap and debris, it could literally be anything, and since it happened OFF CAMERA the whole thing is evidentially worthless.

 "When we are leaving a room and stuff happens, that should be called something" - Yvette Fielding.

I have a suggestion. How about we call it "Karl throws something OFF CAMERA".

Glen is seriously considering his life choices here. He knows it's all bull, but he has to collect his paycheck and he is signed up to do this stupid podcast with Yvette, so he just gotta play the game.

Stuart is back I see, so expect lots of things to be thrown this week. Also gives Karl's throwing arm a rest, he has tennis elbow you know.

 Yvette is now calling it "The Come Back Phenomena" for when things are thrown as they try to leave a room.

 Karl is sat on his own.

 Fred is with Stuart, and already Fred is feeling "strange", doing his best Derek Acorah impression.

 22 Minutes in and nothing has happened other than a few noises OFF CAMERA. Seriously just fast forward, this is ridiculously bad. Come on Stuart do something.

 And as I say that there is a noise in Stuart's group. Of course it is OFF CAMERA. And there are no static cameras about, just Stuart and his handheld camera. 

Karl is sat on his own, he has placed the camera down and is just filming himself as he talks. I don't understand the point of this in respect to a ghost investigation.

 Fred walks into Stuart and Stuart is convinced something was thrown at him, despite it clearly just being Fred walking into him while he holds his book.

 As they examine the floor, there is a noise, and magically a chair has been thrown on the stairs...... OFF CAMERA.

As Darren goes to investigate, he ends up in what looks like the private area of the building where someone lives, and the back door is wide open. Therefore instantly even if you believe this is all real and not set up, there is a chance that someone was watching them, chucked the chair and then ran off. You see if there was static cameras, they would have caught this, but of course that is never the case. So instead we are left with these blatantly set up, ridiculous incidents that just make a mockery of the whole thing.

 So ask yourself what is most likely, a ghost threw the chair, or someone else on the crew did? Every time something happens OFF CAMERA, the most likely explanation is always that it was a member of the crew who did it.

 Karl is still sat looking at the camera, and strangely nothing is happening.

 Stuart and Fred are trying to understand who threw the chair, Fred said it must've been a demon. Yes that makes the most sense. An evil demon decided to scare them, by throwing a chair OFF CAMERA.

 Karl is still rambling on to himself while nothing happens. Strange how since he has put his entire body and both arms in shot that nothing happens.

 Another chair as been thrown OFF CAMERA near to Stuart, Fred and Darren. 
More running about and gnashing of teeth, and Stuart trying to prove that there is no one else around.

 Karl has finally got off his skinny arse and is investigating, I am guessing now he has one hand free something might happen.

Karl then says hello to that bag of something on the chair, the bag does NOT reply. I confirm the bag does NOT reply. How rude.

 Back to Stuart and just as he is about to go back downstairs, something is thrown over his head and into view. I would guess from about where Fred is standing, so OFF CAMERA.

 Stuart and Fred are arguing, I am guessing that people caught on to the fake Karl and Yvette arguments so instead they decided to flip the script and have Stuart and Fred argue instead. Hilariously the argument is based on Stuart wanting to dash about looking for someone real who is throwing the chairs, and Fred saying it is a demon and they need to stay in one place.

 They finally show the replay, and it is clear that the thing that is thrown is an old light bulb and it comes from over Stuart's head, exactly where Fred is standing.

 I wonder if Stuart did not know Fred was going to do this, so didn't actually see the thing being thrown and land, so wasn't sure where he had to look.

 Stuart and Fred are still arguing, it is so obviously fake. Stuart is overacting here way more than usual.

"Something bad is about to happen" - Stuart.

 Nothing happens.

Been ages since we have been with Yvette and Glen, and Yvette out of nowhere grabs Glen's hand, and thrusts it towards her behind. Glen cant hide his glee here.

 Yvette holds onto Glen's hand for way too long here. 

 As Fred, Stuart and Darren return downstairs, there is a laugh out loud moment as Fred suddenly gains Stuart's attention, and both couches have been carefully turned over...... OFF CAMERA. Not sure if someone tipping a couch on its side is considered to be bad.

Yvette is still holding Glen's hand, and he has never looked more smug in his life.

I can tell you now, that Glen wont be washing that hand for a while.

 Yvette hears a noise, and finally lets go of his hand. There was a faint sound, but it could literally be anything, including an owl, or kids out at night on the road, or anything. Since there is no controls in place, the most likely explanation is that it is someone real nearby.

 Since this is a two part episode, it all ends rather unexpectedly, we get some brief preview highlights of the next episode, and the credits roll.

 This was a poor episode, nothing even vaguely interesting happens for the first 25 minutes, so you can just fast forward through that. The rest of the episode is the usual - Noise OFF CAMERA - Investigate - Find Something - Rinse - Repeat.

 With last weeks episode seemingly being the start of an improvement, this weeks episode has dragged the show right back to its normal level of nonsense and mediocrity.

 Terrible episode. 1 out of 10.

REVIEW: Most Haunted - Series 21 Episode 1 (19th January 2018) Birmingham Central Lock-Up


As you will know if you are a regular reader, I have recently been reviewing classic episodes of Most Haunted mainly due to people asking, but also as a filler as we waited for the new series to arrive, well sadly after having gotten used to Derek Acorah being possessed by a monkey, I now have to reluctantly get on with reviewing the new series. I managed to miss out a lot of episodes from series 20 since they shoved them all on in a week during Halloween, but no excuses now, I have to do it.

 So with Watson the Most Haunted Bulldog biting at my feet trying to get my attention, I see what can only be described as a withered, old, wrinkly sack, a once great tight smooth sack, but now decrepit, unwanted and covered in old plasters and dog excrement, inside that sack is blurbage. And alas here is the blurb for this weeks episode.

 "Spook-searching with Yvette and co! A wailing woman seems to want to make contact with the team at a disused prison in Birmingham which has housed some notorious criminals."

 Hang on a mo, they were in Birmingham and no one bothered to let me know! I could have done a one man protest.

 As the title logo appears on screen, I have decided to gaze deep into my crystal balls, and make some predictions about tonight's episode.

 1. The ghosts will only perform OFF CAMERA
2. Yvette will scream as if on cue
3. Yvette and Karl will have a carefully planned fake argument
4. Fred will appear suspiciously
5. Glen will sneak a peak at Yvette's curvy behind

 Usually over time the production for a TV show will improve, and by that I mean better graphics, better set pieces, better camera angles, and all round a tighter production. Unfortunately this is not the case with Most Haunted.

Looks like Yvette has had a nice Christmas, lots of mince pies.

 "A moment on the lips, a lifetime on the hips"

 Must say I do like the new curvier Yvette. I can only imagine Glen's face when he sees her!

With a bit of luck maybe some, if not all of them might end up locked up in the prison as part of a grand OFCOM scheme to put them out of business for good? We can only hope I guess.

Just Glen checking out that booty!

 Glen and Yvette are walking around the prison, talking about the history and ghost stories. Usual nonsense, but if you are interested in such things I am sure you will find it educational.

 They go into Cell B23, which is supposedly the most haunted cell in the whole prison. There's suddenly a dodgy edit and then a noise, and they go running off to investigate and we get split screen action.

How exciting! Well exciting if OFF CAMERA noises excite you that is.
They waste 2 minutes and find nothing and return back to Cell B23 for some hilarious banter.

When you give the girl you like your best line, and she just laughs and dismisses you.

 They actually put some real night vision on (totally not needed as the place is not dark) and the investigation begins.

 Suddenly there is a sound of a toilet flushing! So they run into a cell and low and behold a toilet is mid flush, no poop, but it is flushing, how can this be? There is no one in the cell. Hang on, the chain that you pull to flush a toilet is outside of the cell, and guess who is stood right by it as the toilet flushes OFF CAMERA, yes it is Karl, a cameraman then goes to great lengths to show how no one was there and so on. Even though clearly Karl was stood right there. 

 Because the plastic bit at the end of the chain is not moving, they say that is proof that no one pulled it, someone then goes to prove this hypothesis, but the footage is cut, so I am guessing it didn't work out how they liked.

Yvette is talking to the ghosties after the gang has split up.

 Things are happening OFF CAMERA in the Karl group. While Yvette and Glen are both describing a bad taste in the back of their throats. I believe that this happens after "snowballing". If you don't get that reference then do NOT google it.

 Ok the cameraman and Karl have a new gimmick, basically they get a phone out, and move one finger across the keyboard and if they hear a real world tap, they press the key they are over. Hilariously as they do this the phone receives a message. But is ignored. Maybe it is Derek Acorah?

It could be worse I guess, they could download a shitty Echo Ghost Box app thingy off the app store and then expect the viewer to take it seriously? (Sorry Chris Howley couldn't resist)

Glen is feeling drained, exhausted, as if he had been doing something tiring. 
Yvette is convinced she is about to pass out on the floor, but says it comes and goes. 

Back to the idiots with their phone and they have come up with the name "Mary Scott", so to put this in perspective, they are sat down somewhere and they themselves have typed a name into their phone, and they want the people watching to believe this name corresponds with tapping from a ghost.

At least Derek Acorah put some effort into his bullshit names, pulled a funny face, did a strangely scouse accent for every ghost, hell he got possessed by a damn monkey! And that was episode 1 over 16 years ago! Now we have idiots typing names in a phone.

 Fred Batt appears suspiciously, and has a few sheets of paper in his hand with names written on from a census, and as if by some kind of miracle, the name Mary Scott is on there! The owner of the phone proclaims clearly "I never saw that before"

Other than a few moments, Karl has really stepped out of the spotlight on this episode so far (17 minutes in), and instead this camera guy seems to have been given a bigger part, he is even talking to the ghosts that do not exist now.

No idea who he is, but he looks like they found him asleep on a street corner, dragged him in with them and said "you wanna be a star?"

 No sign of Stuart, guess he is super busy with his car stickers business. And poor old Watson, cant even get on the show these days. Poor animal.

 Suddenly there is a noise and a chair has been tipped over OFF CAMERA.

Karl is claiming that the chair was thrown at him with some force. Most likely explanation is that while all cameras were pointed elsewhere, he used his foot to flip the chair.

With Yvette clearly rather proud of her new curvy behind, Karl goes full Treasure Hunt, and films her Anneka Rice style as she runs down the hall looking for a ghost. Wonderful TV moment and I hope they do more of this.

Perfectly on cue we now get the obligatory fake argument between Karl and Yvette as Yvette gives him big eyes. 

More filming of Yvette's bum by Karl, never known this before on Most Haunted, so this is definitely a pre planned filming technique. I am guessing the conversation went like this.

 Yvette - "I've been doing my squats every day, and I am really proud Karl"
Karl - "You ain't no Mel Crump love"
Yvette - "I told you to NEVER say that name again!!!"
Karl - "Ok ok, I am sorry, do you want me to film your rear end on the show"
Yvette - "Yes, but don't be too gratuitous, just when I am running or bending over"
Karl - "Yes mum, I mean Yvette, I said Yvette, oh for f*cks sake"

 Back with Fred and suddenly some sink taps have been turned on OFF CAMERA. The type that you press from the top and they stay on for 30 seconds or so, so in other words, easily activated with very little effort.

 They pretend to look around for anyone who could have done it. 

 Yvette hears a loud bang OFF CAMERA, and screams, her and Karl run about looking for the cause. They start arguing again because they know the fans find it funny, so we get a good 5 minutes of it. 

 Fred and some other crew members are in a cell, and the toilet flushes again, of course, no camera outside, and no one supposedly outside, this time the chain is moving! Which proves that someone did indeed pull it, and not a ghost.

 Glen is on his own in a cell, with a camera and his laptop. I dread to think what he gets up to in there.

Yvette and Karl in a cell on their own with a camera each.

They hear a noise from outside of the cell, and apparently some tables have been moved.

 Worth noting at this point in the show that Antix Productions who run Most Haunted insist that all CCTV at a location is disabled before they start filming and do their own investigation. You would think they would welcome the extra cameras, already installed, that are filming all possible angles right?

 Now ask yourself why they would insist that all CCTV is disabled?

So this ghost likes to turn taps off, flush toilets and move tables and chairs about. What a wonderful life for this ghost, but he is careful to always do these acts OFF CAMERA. Let us analyse this for a moment, a ghost is doing things so that people know he is there, but he wont do anything on camera because he doesn't want anyone to see him. Yep makes sense to the idiot believers.

Fred is reading from his "5 Steps to be a better Ghost Hunter" book. I wonder if he has set up a patreon yet? Seems to be the thing to do? I much prefer Amazon Gift Vouchers! 

 Suddenly there is a noise, and a chair has been thrown OFF CAMERA outside the cell that Fred was in. You would think that Karl could stump up a few hundred quid for a couple of GoPro cameras to just leave filming in the corridors? Would instantly either prove the existence of ghosts, or expose someone chucking things.

 Back with Yvette Fielding and Karl and another noise, something has been thrown OFF CAMERA. Also hearing knocks. Karl proclaims "we are definitely not alone", no there is at least another 8 crew members on location, if not more.

 Back with Fred etc, and another chair is thrown OFF CAMERA.

 "Demons are the most cunning things you will ever come across" - Fred Batt

 "Demonologists are the most CONning things you will ever come across" - Me

 Yvette is now whistling to the ghosts, and the ghost whistles back. Yes the ghost whistles back, not one of the 8+ crew members dotted around the place.

 The team is now back together and they are listening to EVPs that Glen has found, but suddenly there is a bang and a door has been slammed OFF CAMERA.

Glen is still desperately trying to find something vaguely interesting, but there is another bang. 

Glen almost gets caught looking at dodgy websites on his laptop, but quickly changes the screen.

 Glen has been manipulating the audio for a while now, and has picked up a disturbing sounding groan on the laptop. The problem here is that the sound could be almost anything, could have been added in by Glen, could be a natural sound from Yvette slowed down to sound spooky. One thing for sure is that it is not a ghost.

Karl makes this face.

 So as with all EVPs, they are evidentially worthless. They have no scientific value, and only total amateurs would ever deem them worthy of anything.

 We are then shown footage of a camera moving slight on its own, along with a groan, and then the episode ends.

 I have to admit this was a better than usual episode, and a good choice to start the new series with. Yes the set pieces were obvious, things were all thrown OFF CAMERA, the EVP was dodgy as hell, but with Yvette showing off her new curves, an interesting location, and a funny face by Karl, I give this episode a decent 3/10

Still terrible, a ball ache to watch and a waste of my time, but 3/10 is better that what I normally give them, so perhaps this series will start a new trend of improvement.
