Full disclosure: I am the reddest dwarf. It's been with me since I was but a child, it's basically a surrogate member of my family.
In this three-parter for the "Dave" channel which has been holding the paddles and resuscitating the series every now and then for the last ten years or so now - it's clearly a bit of promotional fluff that was likely intended to accompany the very solid "Promised Land" special that was on earlier in the year but got delayed due to the pandemic. It starts out fairly chronologically but by episode two just reverts to a rather unstructured smorgasbord and settles into a warm but unprovocative festival of nostalgia.
So although there was no real new information for Dwarf fanatics such as myself and they lightly skip over more complex issues, it's a genuine pleasure to see old hands like Tony Hawk, David Ross & Norman Lovett pop up, there were some early archive clips I'd never seen and the round-table discussion with the four main cast is adorable. So it's three hours of a massive warm space blanket - and successfully reminded me in a very bleak time why I'm the reddest dwarf and why I will always be.
