You know when you listen to an episode and literally nothing happens for an hour, so you're like huh. What was the point of that. HMS Surprise is one of those episodes. Benny, Peter, and Jack get whooshed away to a shipyard where Benny meets some mystery guy in a lighthouse and Peter and Jack meander around and around some old ship. And that keeps happening for an hour. This episode isn't bad, not at all. The characterisation is fine, so Jack continues to be annoying and Peter's continued vendetta against his mother isn't particularly engaging either, and the concept of the story is fine. It's just boring. It's a nothingy story. They all wander about and get confused by things, and then it ends. Not a favourite by any means. sircarolyn View profile Like Liked 0 Open in new window Statistics AVG.
