WHO are these FOOLS, these MORONS demanding SHORTER POSTS??????!!!?!?!?!?!

Anyway.... great stuff! Even as 'just-entered-into-our-teens' teenagers my cousin and I, watching this for the 1st time, broke into lewd cackling at the "I'm your personal maid" line. And then howled "it's a trick!!!" at the screen. So we were glad P saw through it!!

Darren's reply on twitter tipped me off to expect Countess Backlottia and it did not disappoint 🤣

Backlottia is next to the quaint mittel-European town of Setzbad.

Whoever these shorter-post-demanding fools are, I hate them! Ignore them! They probably find blipverts too time-consuming.

You have hit on an uncanny quality that has always fascinated me about The Village: no one seems to have an adult relationship. That would require trust, which is impossible to build with anyone inside the panopticon.

Yes, it’s all either very constrained or it’s affected conviviality. It’s why the P/Alison friendship feels a little odd.
