Ah the Very Special Episode... to a Child of the '80s they were as ommnipresent as Strawberry Shortcake socks and solid coloured windcheaters.

In this episode DT mercilessly mocks the VSE and its' less well known sister the After School Special and does it very well indeed.

From Hero's turn as "Xandir's Mom" to Wooldor as a "molesting priest", this episide takes all the "sacred cows" of the VSE and rips them to shreds.

However the housemate deaths in this episode again bring up the whole issue of using the death of main characters in in order to create tension or a reaction from the audience, is only useful when the character is really dead or at least is dead for an extended period of time, long enough for the audience to become accustomed to the fact.

Ultimately this episode is generally clever and creative like the series it is a part of. Bravo!
