 very good - but wanted more! January 21, 2007

There are so many obsessive Green Wing fans out there, with so many different wishes for the series, that this special could never have done right by everyone. As it turns out, it's a bittersweet, and funny episode, but it does feel like it could have done with a bit of pruning. The parts with the character of Martin Dear in particular feel like they were popped in to give the actor something to do. But Statham and Joanna's scenes were genius (behold the cows), and all the love-triangle stuff with Mac and Guy is particularly funny and touching. The ending is definitely odd, and might not please all, but the 'alternative' extended ending gives a touch of hope to caromac fans... br /overall, it's a quirky and mostly-satisfying way to say goodbye to a much-loved show.

i am a huge fan of green wing, and as i understand this is the last ever episode, so i had high expectations, and i wasn't disapointed. br / i won't give away the plotline to anyone who hasn't seen it, but it really has the random quirkiness, orginality and hilarity of the first series-fantastic. and to hear there's an alternative ending on the dvd?! br /can't wait to buy this.
can't believe that's it. January 5, 2007

i love green wing. it is truely hilarious, very random, and fall-off-your-chair funny almost all the time. However, i gotta say i was a lil disappointed with the ending.. i couldn't put my finger on why. maybe it was because i knew that was it? but it felt a little rushed, cramming in so much material into one feature length episode..?! i haven't watched th alternative ending, cos i only saw it on channel four, so i'm looking forwards to that when my copy arrives. not quite upto the incredibly high standard set by series one and two, but still better than almost any other comedy programme around today.
 Fittingly strange... January 5, 2007

Having waited so long, hoping for a resolution beyond the tragedy that ended the second series, finally we find out how it all ends. I won't say what happens of course, since fans will want to find out for themselves, and naysayers just won't care, but believe me when I say that you'll be smiling through the tears come the end of this most extraordinary of journeys. br / br / Despite the moments of comedy genius we've all come to expect, this is actually a very poignant finale to a comedy/drama that truly deserves both of it's genre definitions. Genuine moments of tenderness appear from the least obvious places, and while the end might border on saccharine, there are still a couple of bittersweet pills to swallow. br / br / While not as colon-splinteringly funny as the series it completes, this still must rate as highly as possible simply because it allows a work of art to burn out, rather than fade away. Like The Office before it, this final episode in an emotional journey gives a sense of resolution to the stories we've become inexplicably enthralled by. br / br / And so we are bereaved again, thankfully without the spirit-crushing stupidity of a happily ever after. br / br / Parting is such sweet sorrow.
