"Where is Jessica Hyde?"
Call me sad but when Arby said that I rewound for a few seconds and repeated the clip six or seven times. 
Of course, some people take it to extremes:

He still gets most of the stand out one liners, my favourite being when Lee mentioned that Arby still had the yellow bag, despite now being a plumber. "It comes in handy for tools" he says in his usual manner - imagine turning up on site with that!!

There's some great comedy intermixed with the black stuff.
Becky to Alice: "scared of heights are you? That was a turn for the f
kin' books weren't it!?"And of course a simple, "eye eye, captain."

I've just watched all of season 2 so far.
I was really looking forward to it but apart from the dark comedy its been extremely disappointing.
Didn't need a prologue episode. I found it pointless as if they struggled to make 6 episodes. It drags too much and nothing much happens. The twists you could spot a mile away.
I suppose the bar was set very high on the first series.

Then there's the ultimate question, as the viewer, what do I want? Do I want Janus to be released and Mr. Rabbit to succeed? The argument for Janus is damn strong, the argument against is just a question of morality. The only hiccup being Carvel's extra input in choosing a race to take over the globe. This will be sour news to Milner who detested the idea wanting random selection for a fair run for the surviving populations.
I prefer Carvel's plan though, to help evolution!
Janus is more humane than the solutions I’ve (jokingly) suggested. But its hard to deny the strength of the argument that it’s morally preferable to doing nothing and watching the world tear itself apart over food/water/land etc.I prefer Carvel's plan though, to help evolution!
However Carvell’s decision would backfire badly. Imagine a world where 10 years after the last human has been able to conceive a child, and it becomes obvious that there has been a forced sterilisation. Except for the Roma, chosen to inherit the Earth. Hate crimes would turn into a Rwanda style genocide.
Sorry. It’s only a TV show. I’ll lighten up.

I would imagine that the biggest issue would be that the Roma are on the outside of mainstream society, therefore actually administering the vaccine to sufficient people would be particularly difficult. Not as if you can just look up their address....However Carvell’s decision would backfire badly.
