Normally, Ed
Welch's musical spot midway through an episode of Q9 comes as a welcome relief
from Milligan's continual manic state. But for this final episode of the series
they're trying something different... a song with lyrics by Milligan is sung by
Anna Raven, a young woman with no other credits to her name. The song is
arranged and sung as an emphatic ballad (think Charles Aznavour), but
Milligan's lyrics are extremely verbose. I suppose that the intended effect of
the words is moving whimsy, but that would be better conveyed through a much
lighter arrangement.
As always, the brief cutaways to the studio audience are the most interesting (and certainly the least forced) parts of this programme. Not everyone is having a marvellous time -

You can see where unfortunate girlfriends have been dragged along to this ordeal by their fan boyfriends –
