From the reveiw:
Quote:
I was a bit surprised that I didn't see him at all. I was often making notes, but I don't recall seeing his face or hearing his familiar accent at any point.
I don't know what the reviewer was doing but his voice is there from the beginning and we get to see him from 1min 30sec.

The review goes on:
Quote:
Not only that, but why film the whole thing in black and white? I'm guessing it's because colour vision isn't something that all forms of life are capable of, and is a highly complex evolved system, probably deserving of a future episode to itself. It seems like they could have just said that outright though, rather than having us figure it out from stylistic choices.
Now, assuming the Youtube vid is what was transmitted, I don't know what the reviewer is talking about. Maybe his TV is broken.

I think you've been whooshed

Spoiler:
The reviewer was making a joke / play on words about the film "It's a Wonderful Life" - hence all the nonsense about a 1940's American town and angels.


Did you already know?
