Winging it
NURSE! Green Wing, Channel 4, 9.00pm
There are only two episodes left in this second series - reportedly the final one, too - so we thought there could be no better time to remind you to soak up the barmy goodness while you still can. Despite a shaky start, this second series has been every bit as wonderfully bonkers as the first. and we will be truly sad to see it go.
Favourite moments from the series so far? We're so glad you asked. We liked the invisible security beam in the admin office that forced everyone to limbo across the office. We liked Sue White (for some reason, we have to refer to her by her full name because otherwise it doesn't sound nearly as good) blackmailing Joanna with the tape of the latter having sex with Guy - who you'll remember from the previous series is actually Joanna's son, and we'll pause here for those of you who need to fetch a bucket - and for her trouble getting mounted from a wire on the ceiling and flying around her office. We liked Dr Statham running for local government, with the aid of trusty sidekick Boyce, only to discover that his utter lack of people skills could pose a problem. We liked Martin accidentally becoming a pimp (especially when he ran into a real pimp later in the episode). We liked Caroline's attempts to remind Mac that they were together before he was in the coma. And we liked Sue White's many, many deranged conversations with the baby ("Simba") she apparently conceived with an unconscious Mac's sperm.
So, what's left to happen before the series wraps for good? Well, we suspect that Holly the Baby Killer may have some kind of comeuppance in the works. There may be some kind of reconciliation for Dr Statham and Joanna, because they're completely perfect for each other, both of them being ridiculous human beings. And we don't doubt that there will be some kind of lovely Caramac (groan) moment for all the shippers, before cruel fate probably screws everything up because this is Green Wing. Course, with there still being two episodes to go, none of this may happen tonight, but we never said we were psychic. And if we did, we were just lying to get you into bed.

I don't understand this sentence at all. :(

My decoding suggests that it means Lowculture is forecasting a union of some kind between Caroline and Mac - the combination becoming Caro-Mac, and that in turn being similar in pronounciation to Caramac, the popular British caramel flavoured chocolate bar. Hence Caramac moment. Shippers I imagine, is short for worshippers, i.e. advocates of such a union. i.e. soft hearted goons hence "(groan)"
Incidentally, since Caramacs have been mentioned, I also like to muse on the similarity in hue of Caramac and Mac himself, or at least his hair, but now I'm rambling.
Many good wishes.
