Mr Oddley

July 15th, 2010 by Ailsa

What a mad episode.  Marilyn introduced her ventriloquist’s dummy, Mr. Oddley, to Alf, who had a flashback to when he was five and a puppet scared the bejaysus out of him.  Young Alf said “strike me roan” and ran into the arms of his father, who happened to be the mirror image of current Alf.  Also, Morag was a little ginger girl who was dressed as a witch – very subtle, Home and Away scriptwriters!

Angelo took a settlement outside of court and as a consequence, he’ll never work as a cop again.  He’ll just be Mr. Risotto from now on.  Serves him right anyway, for letting a known criminal escape.  To mark the occasion, he got locked, lit a bonfire on the beach, and burned his uniform.  He also burned his underwear for some reason.  Was he wearing police underwear?

    Best episode in ages. Young alf was brilliant. Wonder did he make all the other kids call him me Stewart.

  2. Floss and Neville Says:

    oh stop, that episode was hilarious…. Home & Away is officially no longer a soap opera, it’s now a cross between a really bad sitcom and the Twilight Zone. That clown was really freaky though! And Angelo was a crap cop anyway, he should have been fired long ago.

    Oh wow, I’m raging I missed this episode! Will have to watch on the RTE player, that sounds amazing. And Mr. Oddley sounds completely freaky. Do you reckon he’s about to reawaken some childhood horror memories in Alf’s deep subconscious, making him go off the rails (a la Milco and Rabbit) and necessitating his admittance to some sort of facility, thus giving Ray Meaghar the time to go off and don his headpiece to star in Priscilla: Queen of the Desert in London? Just a wild guess really!

    Oh god I had blocked out that alf was leaving for six months. Don’t know if I can handle it.

    Home and Away is realling getting into its “6 months earlier” “24hrs” timelines…is Tarentino the new director…

    Did anyone cop Celia dressed up as Mary with Baby Jesus?

  7. Ailsa Says:

    No! Well done Justice Bellingham. Very holy.

    Yeah that was a great absolute, how random, how hilarious. Poor Morag child was literally the ugliest kid I have ever seen, I’m sure *insert Morag actor’s real name* is fairly pissed off about that one. Alf’s face when looking at Mr Oddley… just priceless.

    We spent the episode getting drunk and shouting out who we’d shag out of the Summer Bay crew. The obvious ones made the cut, the opposite other ones did not. Gosh us Irish are so shallow…

    ‘He’s a creepy wooden demon that doesn’t deserve to see the light of day’ Crazy Alf is priceless….
