The making of Back to Earth was nice, it showed a lot of extra things, with many laughs.... calling the AA to the Rovers Return haha, no wonder they never showed up.
The sugar glass section was a nice insight also, and does show that the actors are very professional. A one take only shot, completed nicely in one take.
The China town street looked great, when I first saw the pictures I thought that they had actually shot on location somewhere and not a small set quickly built, well done!
Overall the show is very nice, but people were to quick to judge after the first few episodes... but then again, should we be really seeing then as episodes? It was split into 3 parts to cover the Easter weekend, yet it still remains a 1 hour 30 minute (roughly) single episode, much like Pete 1 & 2 became a feature length and Back in the Red 1, 2 & 3 became a feature episode. As such, we must remember that this is movie length and just as any movie starts with a little action, then slow story building before moving into the last bit of action, Back to Earth had all of that. It started with a little action (attack by the squid), it then moved onto story telling (metaphysical odyssey), before the finale starting with a little more action (chase though china town) and then the most surprising bit, Lister wanting to stay... this then became an emotional ending tying in with the emotional start.
For this reason, you can not have wall to wall action, otherwise it would become very unrealistic.
