Haha “When I need you advice I’ll give you the special signal, which is me being sectioned under the fucking mental health act”

“Where’s Hale and Pacemaker?” Jesus, it’s amazing line after amazing line.

@red31 One of the best insults ever.
July 19th, 2011 at 8:51 pm
Every time I see Malcolm I hear that really deep bass sound like in Paranormal Activity.

@Herbstkoenigin I suppose you can read it that way, but she seemed more clueless than usual in series 3.
July 19th, 2011 at 10:31 pm
@bambieyedbeauty she REALLY did not get it? I thought that was her way of showing tact?!

The 4 minute mark, as well as his speech in the penultimate episode (“You will see me again….you will FUCKING see me again!”) are incredibly powerful. Capaldi is an amazing actor.

Ben is doing the best he can.
Shit, is he….

There’s something desperately sad about the fact Malcolm is so vulnerable in that room with Terri and she’s too thick to understand him. Capaldi is fucking brilliant in that scene.

“It might be difficult to smash a champagne bottle on a turd…”
Rofl.

“Hale and Pacemaker”. There’s about a million classic lines an episode. Love it.
July 20th, 2011 at 1:17 am
“When I need your advice I’ll give you the special signal, which is me being sectioned under the fucking Mental Health Act.”
Favourite line of the episode.

Olie face when he notices Malcom behind him is just priceless.

@wildley007 And who but Armando could create a scene in which a man’s breakdown is self-described as a number of different packets of crisps being crushed inside his skull?

Malcolm’s semi-breakdown is brilliantly written and performed.

Ben could do it as a fucking tranny if he had to…Nicola has been looking like a fucking tranny all day anyways!”
hahahah

@QueenDeaconite Or awesome. I’ll probably spell it right.

Terri is awesom.
