It's hard not to get nostalgic over Christmas long gone. But can it only be a year since we enjoyed a TOWIE festive special that featured Amy, Mark and Kirk? Now they have all departed what is left?
Well, The Only Way Is Essexmas tried to answer that question, but all we got was a curious selection of shoehorned in friendships. Are we really to believe Joey and Mario are such big buds that they go off to Lapland together? No, me neither. Although Joey is still a joy to watch, when Santa asked him what he wanted, his reply was 'a poison frog, socks and pants.' he show needs to break its wage structure to keep him, no one else is really making a mark (pun intended.)
Picture postcard Lapland aside, the other major storyline was Arg's birthday bash b these days the show is becoming like Harry Potter. Arg decides he wants a Henry the Eighth themed party, in a castle, and it happens. We don't see anyone organising the do, or for that matter footing the massive bill, it just happens. Like Dumbledore wanders in waves his wand and hey presto, an Essex bash is created. In fact it would have been quite funny seeing those bozos try and organise it. I don't think it would have run as smooth or looked as slick do you? But for all you history buffs out there we were informed that they didn't have surgically enhanced boobs in the Tudor period. Glad they cleared that contentious topic up for us.
We were only served up one new character, Arg's nan, the quite frightening Nanny Brighton who looks like a cross between Catherine Tate's gran and Madame Medusa from The Rescuers. On the Kirk departure does this mean we have seen the last of the Sugar Hut? If so, it will be like Emmerdale without the Woolpack, Eastenders without the Queen Vic or Sweeney Todd without Mrs. Lovett's pie shop.
