It seemed chaotic and disconected... there wasn't much of a story there. Sure, it was funny at times, but not that funny. Doris wasn't bad, but there was something missing...
What can I say, the ep didn't grab me. Just seemed like a crazy series of events. 2/5

How dare I call this love and not bear my cross to the end.
Unfortunately, I just listened to this episode
I agree with Bennett almost completely. The script and dialogue was really disjointed. This is nothing like the interaction between the Barclays and the Rathbones. Who let's their kids just wander around the restaurant for that long? The Pearls in the Oysters gag don't really work on radio without better directing. It was too confusing to understand what was going on.
As far as Doris goes, I thought she did a terrific job at copying a tricky voice. At first I thought it was Pam just having a really bad day in the studio, then I remembered she wasn't doing it and became extremely impressed. She even sounded like Katrina a couple times
I give this ep a 2 (and not because of Star Wars)

The Gospel:
Holy God in love became
Perfect man to bare my blame
On the Cross He took my sin
By His death I live again

On the Cross He took my sin
By His death I live again

One of the most irritating things about the episode (besides the horrible french caricature) was how the kids weren't severly punished for their abomidable behavior. It was just "oh well kids, let's all just play a game and have fun."
And the whole earing in the oyster thing? Why bother with a gag like that when you can see it coming a mile away and isn't funny when you get there.

I like it for entertainment, but that's not the point of Odyssey, so...
"Death's got an Invisibility Cloak?" "So he can sneak up on people. Sometimes he gets bored of running at them, flapping his arms and shrieking..."
"And now the spinning. Thank you for nothing, you useless reptile."
"It unscrews the other way."
