Review of Zoey's Extraordinary Dad

Yes, we all knew what was coming and if there's a slight weakness in this otherwise stunning episode it's the fact that from the first song we can all be pretty sure what's going to happen. But when it does it is so beautifully handled and the episode up to that point contains some wonderfully warm humour and terrific songs (I think that there are more songs in this one than any of the others by a long way) that nothing can spoil it. The closing number is the best 5 minutes of TV I've seen in years and I can only imagine how much work it must have taken to get it so note-perfect (pun intended). I wasn't sure about this show for the first one or two episodes, but it's gone on to be my favourite new series this year. I can't wait to see more and I'm so delighted that it's been picked up for a second series. An Emmy, if you please!
