C
Sigh, this episode. OK, so Tony/Sandi is a wondrous thing. Look at that still! He's playing a fanzine interviewer and she's Snow White and he is uber-naughty and she's playing it sweet, but she is totally his match, and there's loads of chemistry, no matter what their orientations, and did I mention that they're having a secret affair in this Party Quirks, which she's so good at she guesses the guests even when Host Tony can't?
But the episode kicks off with Authors, where he's extremely disgusting as the Marquis de Sade (actually worse than you might expect), and the other two players on this episode are friggin' Ron West and Rory McGrath, who are seldom if ever funny, I mean Ron has a line where he's a vicar and he says something about the eulogy "being doned today," and I can't believe how painful some of this episode is. But the Sandi/Tony is a wondrous thing. This episode, sigh. It would be C- but I'll give a C because it ends with Sandi reading the credits as Mae West and because this is the episode where giggly!Tony begins to be a factor, although he's trying to be serious even in that still, although you know he's inwardly gleeful because Sandi helps him set up the "7-Up" joke.
