Dan Stevens absolutely steals every scene he's in. What a gifted actor -- he has proven how diverse he is after leaving Downton Abbey -- The Guest, Beauty & the Beast (his *real* singing voice is as gorgeous as his speaking voice), Legion, Hilde (his German is flawless) and now this comedic role which is really quite poignant having to hide that he's gay because he's Russian. Another gem from Dan Stevens.
I agree but thought his Russian accent sounded an awful lot like the Czech brothers from the original SNL. But that actually made him funnier.
not to mention invoking the Gay thirst trap of the year o.0
Mother Russia don't agree with Alexander Lemtov...
thats not his singing voice,
Lemtov was based on Dima Bilan. Everybody knows he's gay.
I actually went into the film expecting the worst but thoroughly and surprisingly enjoyed it all of it. Probably one of Wills best, and Rachel is a dream. This was a good review. Thanks.
Ya ya ding dong... That stuck into my head... Lolz
When you choose Eurovision on Netflix, you should be resigned to the fact that this will not be a think piece. And it is why I LOVE it. It’s got that zany humor (falls flat sometimes), awesome campy anthemic songs, and it wasn’t mean and crude over Eurovision. It’s just what we need in this pandemic. Something light, easy, predictable and easy to sing along to.
I agree. It's light, it's fun, there's good music. Sometimes that's all you need
Ja ja ding dong is a masterpiece. That alone gives the movie 100% on rotten tomatoes. I LOVED the movie even though I’m not the biggest Will Ferrell fan. It’s campy, it’s heartfelt, it’s got good music and big stars. A fun watch.
Funny enough, I can confirm the "hosting the Eurovision can bankrupt the country" part as being real. I live in Israel, and when Netta won the contest in 2018, there was a real huge fear that Israel would eventually bail from hosting the 2019 contest because of lack of funds. The local broadcast station feared that it would lose all of it's money hosting and broadcasting the competition (which costed around 100M shekels, btw) in the very possible case that the competition would get cancelled for whatever reason. It literary took Bibi Netanyahu, Israel's PM to step in and force them to agree to host for them to actually start working on the show. Then nobody knew where to take the money for ensuring hosting the competition, and if Israel would get it's money back afterwords. The back and forth on the monetary issue was so big, it became the main government topic for 3 months or so. the central bank of the nation even got involved in. Many cities refused to host the competition because it would literary bankrupt them. The situation got eventually resolved after it was agreed that 1/3 of the government funds for 2019 would go on hosting the Eurovision. yeah, it was this serious. And Israel has a very stable economy too.
2019 was a fantastic show!
@@ellebee2419 agreed! it was the first esc i woke up for live and i dont regret it
Lets put things a bit in proportion, 100m shekels is not really a big deal for a country with strong economy like Israel, its nothing in terms of the yearly budget and for sure no one was afraid it will bankrupt the country.
But yes, there were fighting between the government and the broadcasting network but it was more about conflict of personal interests and the money thing was used as a vehicle for that.
Eventually obviously everyone settled because nobody really was going to let the Eurovision be canceled and good that they did because i think it turned out to be a really good one.
I'm from Spain and belief is we sent crap artists because we can't afford to win
When Ireland won 3 times in a row in the 90's the nation was like "WTF we don't want it again!!"
One thing that was never mentioned is the singing talent of Molly Sanden. This isn't your normal Will Ferrell movie. While he does add that comedy you are used to, this movie blows away many musicals (it's up there with Pitch Perfect); the soundtrack was superb. Demi Lovato's comeback is also on display.
Did anyone find their songs super catchy? Especially double trouble. I added song to playlist 😂
YES! Love all the songs! Double Trouble is my favorite ..today I really got into the "Running With The Wolves" song...
super catchy !! (there is video on youtube)
Matthew Tham I did😁
Nooooh!! i want to hear JAJA Dingdong!! play JAJA Dingdong!!
I can’t stop listening to lion of love and the song along 🔥🔥🔥
Husavik was powerful!
Grew up watching Eurovision while living in Germany. I was 11 when ABBA won for Waterloo. Love the movie! Dan Stevens (Alexander Lemtov) stole the show.
I want Fire Saga to be the interval act in the Netherlands next year please :)
Yes with Volcano man, fucking brilliant =)
Volcano Man is nice, but nothing against Jaja Ding Dong 🙈
@@k31n3rd4 Lies ;-)
@@Annicaha I vote for a medley.
It is really possible, as Justin Timberlake and Madonna really DID perform in the Eurovision, tho only as guest performers. It is more then possible that the Eurovision would gain a new tradition of having American singers perform as guests in the contest, so Farrell and MacAddams can perfectly be next on the line!
It was my time to choose the film and I decided on this one. My boyfriend's face was a picture! But once Will Ferrell started singing Volcano Man he was all smiles. We both loved it as a piece of honest entertainment. Big thumbs up!
After seeing me watch it a couple of times, I got my Fiancé to watch it with me, and he loved it!! We repeat some of the lines from it like "shut your mouth or the elves will shut it for you!" 😂
I never heard of Eurovision, but i've already watched the movie twice....and will probably watch it once a year, its awesome. Rachel McAdams deserves an award for her performance, she was very good.
Some advise - don't tune in to the American commentary. Instead, view the official Eurovision live broadcast via proxi.
I'd recommend finding the TH-cam vid 'Love Love Peace Peace or the How to win Eurovision song". It's a lot of fun and catchy.
dude. some eurovision from someone who annoys their friends about it. good beginner years are 2016, 2009 and 2012 (just good song quality- i love most top 10 songs from 2009, but be warned, 2012 is a tourism advert for baku at times) My favourite is 2010, for reasons. If you want wacky, I dub 2006-2008 the crackhead years, tho 2006 is my favourite crackhead year
As you hear Dan Stevens' character refer to "England's Got Talent" and the contest being set in Edinburgh I feel this means the film is either set in the future or an alternate universe where Scotland has become independent and won Eurovision.
I read the Eurovision in UK is often hosted in Scotland (although a theater in Glasgow not Edinburgh), so it's not about Scotland being independent.
@@1313sp It has only been held once in Scotland. In Edinburgh in 1972. As for independence that was just a bit of fun speculation.
The real joke is in real life a lot of foreigners think the whole of the UK is England.
Eurovision is about the members of the European Broadcast Union net which are "National public TV's" , not "Country public TV's". So, theoretically, it's possible.
Curiously enough, Wales could be host, but not Scotland, as it is an independent member of the EBU. Flanders and Bavaria are also non-country members.
I know that because the EBU refused the Catalan Public Television as a member, because it was not a country, and those examples were put on the table. (Obviously that went nowhere, despite the flagrant double standard,. Spain being a permanent member of Eurovision)
This movie was hilarious !!! What's with you people !!! STOP TAKING YOURSELF TOO SERIOUS ,,yes it was a bowl of mixed emotions but it actually worked !! Dan Steven's had me dieing of laughter and will Ferrell was really good and not once did he annoy me but RACHEL MCADAMS ,, WELLLL,, She's absolutely stunning and charming !! I mean she totally stole my heart and in my opinion,,her part was oscar worthy !! The colors are beautiful the singing is spectacular and the characters all hit the mark !! The ending had my heart racing and almost brought a tear to my eye !! Bad movies should never bring that type of emotion so in my opinion!!! WATCH IT WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT ITS DIFFERENT AND RAW !! EURO VISION GETS MY VOTE FOR MOVIE OF THE YEAR !! THAT IS ALL LOL
P.S YA YA DING DONG !!
+1 for Ja Ja Ding Dong
I also think Rachel McAdams gave an Oscar worthy performance!!
as Ive had to remind many people n many different videos. THIS IS NOT A FEATURE FILM. it is a made for TV movie, and therefore falls under EMMY consideration, rather than Oscar (different Academies involved, not MPAS, but TAS)
Actually as long as they put the movie in a LA theater and it runs for a minimum of 7 days straight, it is eligible for Oscar nominations. In 2019 the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted to leave a key rule on eligibility unchanged so streaming services like Netflix and Apple TV could be considered. Just look at Marriage Story and Roma - both won Golden Globe awards last year. Netflix movies can be legit contenders if they meet the eligibility requirement. That said, somehow I doubt this specific movie will be one of them, no matter how good Rachel McAdams is in it.
I Love Rachel, but she isn't the one singing. It's Molly Sandén :)
And such perfect timing too - as the real Eurovision had to be cancelled. Without this movie, the world would have missed the highs and the lows, the camp and cringe, that is Eurovision. Thank you Will Ferrell!
I never realize Lemtov was supposed to be antagonist, he just felt like a normal guy that was in the closet
also, anyone else notices the visual represents having Lemtov become friends with Sigrits when she was wearing a rainbow dress?
SYMBOLISM!
He was an antagonist in the sense that he was purposefully breaking Lars & Sigrit apart by hitting on her, so one could assume that he was also doing that in order to win the contest. Same with Mita.
Me too, I also thought he was nice guy, he just want Sigrit to sang well.. he even accompanied Sigrit when Lars left her.
I think it was very respectful writing. He's the antagonist but isn't bad and we love him. We doubt his intentions but he tells the truth he likes their song and their talent but they have no hope of winning. The audience first believes he's only their friend for nefarious reasons but by the end he is who he is, and he's a nice guy.
The film makers had him as gay but in the closet who's Russian as a comment on how things are currently like in Russia at the moment.
Best movie of the year, you could watch it 100 times and still love it!
I loved the movie, it has a warm heart, and didn't make the songfestival ridiculous. At worst for US citizens Europe will feel like a village.
Mixed bag for me...basically I loved everyhting about it except the main character.
And I kept stumbling over the notion that Greece would send this kind of song, that Russia would send something THAT gay (not sure if this was worth for the one joke in the end) and that apparently not only the UK won the contest but allowed it to happen in Scotland after it.
But the "Eurovision mood" was pretty much spot on, and Rachel Adams and Dan Stevens were amazing.
Not a movie I would watch again fully, but a movie whose highlights I might watch again.
Europe in size is very small compared to the other continents
@@luisvasconcelos1053 But it is culturally very diverse and economically extremely powerful.
swanpride agree,still a reference for all World
@@luisvasconcelos1053 True, but is has more different countries and languages than most.
I don’t know what you’re talking about Eurovision was an awesome movie. Funny, sweet and unique
Movie was better than expected. And actually make me want to Eurovision the real now.
Did you?
I love that film - it is has a good mix between humor and music - and it is very warm-hearted. I laughed and cried during that film - but the best is the music ♥
Ratings:
Movie: 6/10 music 9/10
Ya ya ding dong is seriously addictive... Lolz
I really liked the movie, and was actually blown away by the sing a long with all the Eurovision stars, and as a Fan I was of course WOW with that lol...But one thing they had completly wrong was that there is no point giving in the semi finals!...And we don't hate the UK, but their songs just hasn't been very good, and who dosn't love Norton XDDD
They showed the point giving in the semi finals because it wouldn't fit at the end of the movie, but it's too iconic to Eurovision to exclude it.
I loved it! I was in a funk during this quarantine time, but I watched this movie last night and just loved it! It picked my spirits up and woke up this morning singing "Lion of Love"! 😂 Its a slapstick comedy, which I'm a fan of, but Steven Lemtov stole the show! And now I have so new music to add to my feel good lists! Shout out to Will Ferrell for bring this to the attention of Americans in these uncertain times! ❤
As a fan of both Eurovision and Iceland, I absolutely loved the movie :)
I'm from the UK, I've been watching Eurovision for many years, I actually used to hate it when I was much younger but I've come to appreciate the ridiculousness of the whole thing. There is some good music but there is a lot of insanity and a hell of a lot of entertainment. In the UK we've also had two wonderful Irish commentators for the longest time, previously Terry Wogan who sadly passed away and now Graham Linehan, both brought many laughs which made it even more entertaining for us. I think some countries do take it deadly seriously, and obviously the acts that take part take it seriously, but for many of us it's all a good excuse to get drunk and have a laugh.
Even if the event is changing, trust me a lot of people still tune in for the silliness.
@Marcus Selin That was so sweetly done. ⭐
OMG, the plotline that hosting the competition would bankrupt the country is exactly the same plot for Father Ted's Eurovision episode called 'A Song for Europe'. If you haven't seen it I'd highly recommend it, it's hilarious.
The best review out there... 💜 I’m sure this will help all the Eurovision-newbies :) welcome to the club !!!
I really enjoyed the film. But biggest flaws I had were with Ferrel when he was at his most Will Ferrel. Beyond that really really liked the movie.
Nonsense
I really enjoyed the movie but I’m not a Will Ferrell hater though
I will watch this movie again and again
Alexander Lemtov isn’t a Villian
As a Europian and a huge fan of Eurovision, I loved the movie. It's light, heartwarming and funny. I will definitely watch it again.
Loved the movie-I needed a pick-me-up to counter covid madness. Even bought the soundtrack!
Fair and balanced review-have subscribed.
In a year where we didn't have Eurovision... we had Eurovision ..... 2 hours was nothing
I really like the movie, the actors are great in the opinion of someone whose not familiar with these actors at all.
I had zero expectations going in, I just had a very limited understanding of what Eurovision is so I was intrigued. I think setting the bar so low made this movie even better for me. I actually loved it. Cried at the end. Húsavik is such a beautiful song
I thought it was hilarious. It was so funny! The acting and writing were great, all the characters were so sweet - and I loved the music! 💖
Well I grew up with both Eurovision and Melodifestivalen and even OT. And I love Rachel and I love Molly who does the singing voice. My boyfriend loves Will Ferrell, So for me the movie was a big hit combination!!! 🤩
"It is the night we have all BEEN waiting for!" The way she says it is hilarious to me :D
Oscar for song "Husavik My Hometown" ... with its wonderful Icelandic lyrics. Oscar for actress Rachel McAdams ... who created a unique and memorable character regardless of whether the singing voice was dubbed.
I don't think the Academy will give an Oscar to a Will Ferrel movie, even if it's well deserved...
Husavik has been nominated for an Acadamy Award. best original song! 😃
Rachel McAdams actually sings in the movie. Her voice is blended with a singer named Molly Sandèn.
One of best reviews out there of this movie..Well done to Stuart to amazing work
Watching the movie after UK got 0 points this year makes the commentary even more hillarious
Eurovision Song Contest was a bright spot in an otherwise very dark year. I keep it in my Netflix queue if I need a mental health break and pick-me-up.
I loved the movie. Jaja Ding Dong.
As an eurovision fan for many years I thought the film was pretty decent (7/10) yes a lot of plot holes with how the contest is actually run (for instance another one not mentioned the UK, France and Spain being in the SF when they automatically qualify for the final)....and yes UK has had some decent songs since 2000 and we will get better ...eventually :)
I caught the semi-final blunder too and thought there's no way they didn't know. Perhaps they just wanted to include the countries that for non-Europeans define Europe?
But that is not fair.
Will Ferrell is the only American that actually gets ESC enough to make a movie out of it. He’s wife is Swedish. He has watched several of the shows and did extensive research on site at the 2018 and 2019 shows.
This movie review is amazing!!! Great job!!!
The fact that this years Eurovision while they where getting ready to start the performances they where playing ja ja ding dong while people where coming in to there assigned seats was like literal serotonin to me ❤
I had a hard time buying the Rachel McAdams crush on Will - that aspect was a bit annoying - I would have preferred that they were just brother and sister. But the rest of the movie was really heart warming and fun. Dan Stevens stole the show, in my opinion.
There’s a mistake in the movie. Spain is in the semifinals when Spain is a country of the big five and goes directly to the final.
But that is not fair, isn't it?
the big 5 put the most money into the contest so it's perfectly fair.
@@latengocomoburro No it is not - and they suffer for it
Yes, and Italy as well
Although I have been a fan of Eurovision since Euphoria, I was reluctant to watch Fire Saga because I'm not a huge fan of Will Ferrell movies. However, a friend in Italy recommended it to me so I watched. OMG I was not expecting it to be so much fun. I loved all the songs but Dan Stevens stole the show. It was brilliant to have a Russian character that everyone could love.
Im from finland and we love eurovision. Okayh 2006 i did think that we dont have any to win and laughted. But i was so wrong! My face went like...😶WHAT?!😲 😅 Happy that movie came out🧡
this is an immensely enjoyable movie. In a year of letdowns it's been very refreshing. I'm not a huge Ill Farrell fan, but It's got aspects of "cult hit". It's insanely rewatchable.
Saw the movie yesterday, now I appreciate it a lil more thanks to this video.
play ja ja ding dong!!
I'm a french Eurovision fan and I was afraid the movie would only make fun of it, but I must say I enjoyed it A LOT. It's supposed to be silly but I see it more as an homage. And some parts of the movie are really heartwarming. Sigrit's song is wonderful, the movie embraces the contest's camp and LGBT content and talks about homophobia in Russia, and as a fan I must say the part with all the real life participants blew my mind. I love this movie
Oh, and Iceland is bringing very creative and high quality contestants for some years now. Last year was amazing with Hatari and this year they had an awesome song that was a favourite of many. Russia is always bringing super professional and perfect performances in all aspects, it's hard to believe they haven't won for many years in a row by now.
As much more as we are moving away from the Soviet Union, Russia keeps losing its role of the neighbouring "mother". Thank God for this.
Though I am still scratching my head how they got from Hatari to this years entry. Talk about a 180.
Gimmicks are usually a hit or miss - Hatari was a hit! Loved it!
great work, love the video!🥰
Dude I've watched it 6 times already..
My great grandmother was Icelandic, so it was exciting to watch and got me even more anxious to learn about my heritage. I get that most of the jokes are not really that accurate to Iceland. Even most of the names are more swedish in origin. But it was still fun to watch and a great movie with super catchy music.
Countries definitely try not to win and get out of hosting for next year, that’s not really a toss up lol.
This film will become a cult classic for Eurovision fans everywhere. JaJa Ding Dong should be the new Eurovision anthem.
This film was my gateway into ESC lol. I usually don't like Will Ferrell films but I really enjoyed this one and came into it with hardly any Eurovision knowledge. It got me hyped, and gave me the gist of what esc was about and I have been addicted ever since.
I actually LOVED the movie! It definitely needed some trimming down because it did run a little long but I had so much fun that I wasn't even really upset about the length. I thought it was genuinely funny because it felt authentically camp - the moments that were super on the nose or convenient were funny because they were self aware in that sense (especially the lyricism and obvious vocal processing). All the various songs were also shockingly really well produced and it just felt like a lot of attention to detail (maybe too much so at times, though, given the length) went into this film. I also...cried? Like....a lot? Like I never thought I'd ever relate to a Will Ferrell character, yet so many moments were genuinely heartbreaking. Maybe I have a unique perspective as someone who makes pop music and is a big dreamer and puts on colorful performances and outfits. I was just thoroughly entertained the entire time and I don't think I've watched something so fun in a long time.
Great review! 💚
Great movie. Thank you for the insight on the whole Eurovision history. This is awesome. (Also, Dan Stevens rocks.)
Molly Sandén 🔥 - a ridiculously proud Swede! 😍 Great review & the strengths of this movie to me are the music, the Eurovision references & Dan Stevens 😂
Eurovision used to be a yearly event for me, but my interest somehow petered out after they started doing semifinals. My all-time favourite Eurovision song was actually an Icelandic entry, Paul Oscar in -97. I liked the movie, it was as silly and fun as I would have expected.
Not having any prior experience with the real Eurovision, and likely missing a *LOT* of the nods to it in the movie, it was really interesting - and helpful - to see your side-by-side shots giving direct examples of instances where the movie took inspiration.
I love the movie! I have watched it so many times. The music is great, I love the characters! All around great time!!!!
Love this movie and whenever I’ve had a bad day this goes on and the world is fine again. The main difference between the film and the real Eurovision Song Contest is the music is better in the film.
Thnx for your great review 👍🏻
0:10 - Funny thing is that the shows you mentioned all came from Europe, usually by the same people.
yep, Idol is from the UK, Got Talent is by a UK executive, and The Voice is from the Netherlands, by a Dutchie. so surprising that most of the well-known television formats are all European (well, Deal or No Deal is Dutch, Who Wants to be a Millionaire is from the UK and is British, Hell's Kitchen and MasterChef are both from the UK. they are in the U.S. because either a U.S. TV network buys the format rights for the U.S. or the European creators themselves go to the U.S. and preach their format to the U.S. TV station). and the song contest format is a format which has never been spread throughout the U.S. scene.
the UK does not so poorly because anyone hates them, its because their songs always suck. except last year, that one was actually pretty good. And he got many points.
I loved this movie and have been looking into Eurovision more since - and I subscribed :)
I love Eurovision as an american because bands like Lordi and Teräsbetoni get involved. The inclusion of metal and weird are beautiful. 🖤
Play, Jaja Ding Dong!!!!!
I've been watching Eurovision since 1967 and I thought this a very fair and balanced review. Good analysis, good use of the clips to illustrate the points and, overall, a fair assessment of the film's appeal. I do agree that at 123 minutes, the movie is TOO LONG!
Have never seen a full episode of any of the talent shows; but I couldn’t imagine the concept of Eurovision being a joke. Seems like a good time; unless they go into all the emotional drama stuff.
Little correction: eurovision is not an only Europeans competition , Eurovision (EBU) is a broadcast system also available out of Europe and all members countries are allowed to participate in the contest like Israel, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, Russia. Morocco has once participated , Egypt and Lebanon could even participate if they wished and agreed the the EBU rules.
Been an avid Eurovision watcher since childhood (I’m Swedish). Heard about this movie and was really expecting this horrible Americanized trope. Instead it’s a wonderful nod to the kitchiness of the actual event. So many previous winners making appearances. Eurovision is not a serious event. It’s about all the very different cultures of Europe coming together and sharing an experience. I think the movie did this exceptionally well. People who don’t get Eurovision will miss the point of it. For those who love Eurovision it encompasses so much of what we watch it for. Over the top pop ballads, UK getting 0 points, commentary getting lost in translation, the token metal entry, France being France and no matter how much you hate your country’s entry, the huge amount of support you and your countrymen give on the big night.
2:40 Additional note on the Greek entrant's dress, it also has a similarity to Stefania's dress from last year's show (actual Greek ESC entrant in 2021).
I honestly enjoyed the film. It's Will Farrell, so of course it's over the top sometimes, but honestly the music was great. Everything between cringey and brilliant was to be found 💖
My biggest take away from the movie was that the song "Husavik" sung in the end was actually so good it could be a winning entry in the real Eurovision! Oh, if Iceland had this kind of song as a real entry - they actually might win!
Its a good review.. only little point.. The Volcano Man video... ESC 2007 Lordi INTRO... eagle's call, snow, fire background.. its all there...
The movie is awsome. I have not seen eurovision in 20 years but this made my year.
Many steriotypes but very well done and very good music. All the caracters are very well played and the cameos from eurovision singers even better. The song along is its own thing. Very cool
OK, we need KeiiNO to cover Volcano Man.
The movie was a hit for me! I just love the songs and the humour!
I discovered Eurovision in 2009 from a British Friend. and now I’m here. addicted to it. and happy that a movie is created for it.
''evil Russian stereotype has been done to death''
yeah this aged wonderfully...
To be honest the movie was an American - silly naive project but the Eurovision theme made us Europeans be utterly receptive and lenient. The songs were great, the music art producers pretty well - read, I must say. I'd be excited to listen to My hometown live on stage next year in Rotterdam.
This movie is exactly what we needed to make 2020 bearable. Simple, inspiring, funny, good music and lots of Eurovision stars.
I really loved this movie, so refreshing and lovely, didn't know anything about Eurovisión, now I'm curious about it
this movie is amazing! all fire saga songs could easily win eurovision.
Oh stop it, I was blown away
You didn’t mentioned the funny way they score. The Netherlands is repeated on the scoreboard and labeled once as Holland. Also, Spain is on the Semis.
I thought I was the only one who thought volcano man sounded like spirit in the sky!!! OMG!
Straight honest answer.. "The Movie brought Eurovision to wider audience all over the world"
I'm from Indonesia and now i'm addicted to Netta Barzilai songs "Toy", now I know the Weird musician who appeared in Mellisa Mc Carthy movie "Spy" that's one of the Eurovision contestant..
it's all because the movie..
Short and simple opinion.. "Yes , the Movie did good"
"there is no way out of this rabbit hole"
me, who got dragged in after watching clips of 2018 then 2019 live: oui oui i agree
10:44 FYI, It's not a "Comedy" movie per se. because if will ferrell or the director did that, it would have been like anchor man. The main theme leaned towards the love story between Lars & Sigrit and Lars' dream to win the Eurovision & become popular and laughed at by his folks. Heck I think it's even more centered on Sigrit's character. That's why it's not a typical Ferrell comedy.
The theory is that Australia won the previous year and while Australia is allowed to compete it isn’t allowed to host so the UK (Scotland) stepped in.
hello. i am from the future. 9:58 is not a plot hole (surprisingly) we just had esc in liverpool
