Hello everyone. This is a super-quick Green Wing update: Channel 4 have just announced their winter lineup and we want to get the news about the special episode out to you nice and fast...
Below is the blurb they've just released for the one and a half hour long final episode (warning: slight spoilers):
"The critically-acclaimed Green Wing is back for a one-off Christmas Special. From the award-winning team behind Smack the Pony, this genre-defying comedy proves medical issues needn't have any relevance in a hospital setting. As the mayhem and madness continues, how will it all end for our favourite dysfunctional medics?"
"The end is nigh – Caroline (Tamsin Greig) is now engaged to Guy (Stephen Mangan), while Mac (Julian Rhind-Tutt) has very little time to live.
Gripped by desperation and paranoia, dwarf-killing duo Statham (Mark Heap) and Joanna (Pippa Haywood) are on the run, jumping relentlessly out of frying pans and into fires (not quite literally). With no-one left in charge, the admin girls let their basic instincts run wild, while something very strange has happened to Karen (Lucinda Raikes) after her fall from the window. Boyce (Oli Chris) discovers life without Statham, Sue White (Michelle Gomez) spots a job opportunity and Martin (Karl Theobald) feels utterly helpless. Again. Still, at least it all ends happily ever after. Or does it?"Sounds good doesn't it! When will this special air? Well it is still yet to be decided. This new press release marks the episode as a highlight of their January schedule (noooo!), however we are hoping that is incorrect. As we mentioned in the last newsletter Australia should be showing the final special in late December so C4 couldn't possibly show it after them could they?!?
We contacted C4 to try and clarify things - we got this vague response back from their spokesperson: "We don't have an exact TX date [transmission date] as yet but it is likely to air near Christmas Time at the end of December."
So, sorry, it looks like a bit of a longer wait than we first thought.
God I do hope it has a happy ending....poor Mac. Let's just pray it's a wrong diagnosis!
Wouldn't it be nice to know when Ch 4 are planning on showing this...think we should innundate them with emails about it?!
maybe its just my internet, i'll try on another computer at some point.
that's going to be so good! Has anyone seen the video for Guy on youtube? Its to the song "is it 'coz i'm cool?" and the song goes really well with it! What would be a good Mac song?...."you really got me" by The Kinks?
