I'm so excited! Here's a sneak peek at the second series of the fabulous
Pushing Daisies, which looks set to include more bees, nuns, scary clowns, actress Missy Pyle and even more exciting japes and near-misses for Ned, Chuck, Emerson, Olive and the Aunts.
Hopefully this will tide you over a little until we eventually get the second series in the UK – do bear in mind it hasn't even started being shown in the US yet, so we have a little while to wait!
After the short season of
Dirty Sexy Money ended last week with episode 10, sadly this week's ninth episode of
Pushing Daisies is also the season finale, due to all that striking the writers' did last year. But fear not, if you need another Daisies fix, those nice people at ITV have also decided to put the episode that they missed out (episode 2 aka "Dummy") online, so you can
watch it here! But for now, here's my thoughts on last night's episode:
- For its final episode this series, the show left on a high note – with a great balance between drama and giggle-inducing cleverness.
- I was so happy to return to Young Ned's Play-Doh world.
Wow, that was maybe the most jam-packed
Pushing Daisies episode yet. Funny lady
Molly Shannon turned up as the owner of a taffy business that was trying to steal the Pie Hole's customers, Ned solved a murder and ended up framed for another, and Olive had a new romantic opportunity — if only she could have recognised it. But my favourite thing about the episode was how much we learned about Ned.
We got something a little different this time round on
Pushing Daisies: a plot thread not involving our core characters that could continue for more than one episode. Paul (Pee Wee Herman) Reubens turned up as a scent expert who sniffed something odd on Chuck. Will he be back?
Oh
Pushing Daisies, I love you already, you didn't need to bring in Joel McHale (lovely host of the E!'s
The Soup) to make me love you even more!! And puppies! Love it.
