Just finished watching this and I am not sure what to think. Last night I saw a lot of commentary on social media about it and I admit that most of it was from the sort of Euro-sceptic commentaria that I tend to side with.
So I went into watching it, based on their negative comments.
And found it an odd mix of the baffling, rather beautiful in places, intriguing and plain daft.
With the daftness coming over rather heavily.
From what I can make out the EU is smashing because a him-she won the Eurovision song contest, it encourages 'diversity' (although, at the same time, we all need to be far more single minded in our devotion to the EU) and....well that was about it. Oh and some old Ukranian Peasant reckons Ukraine can feed all of us although that segment, at the end, was perhaps the most touching.
And then you have this bizarre theme running through it of Angus Deaton sitting next to some Italian girl who has been thrown out of the UK because her mum does not earn enough money. Or something like that. And all this in a plane that is flying through bad weather and cannot land at a variety of airports.
Its worth watching if only for the 'wtf' emotions it invokes but if this is meant to somehow encourage us to remain in the UK then I am struggling to understand how this is meant to help.
Oh and it has Peter Mandleson in it being incredibly creepy. With the sort of hair-dye job that I have not seen the like of since the last time 'Mad' Frankie Fraser was on the box.
I cannot work out whether the entire show is a work of surreal genius or the biggest load of tosh that the BBC has ever thrown licence fee payers money at for a long long time.
