Family Guy Viewer Mail 2

Three segments respectively feature a British version of Family Guy, Peter Griffin turning everybody he touches into Robin Williams, and a typical day from Stewie's point of view.

The episode was written by Tom Devanney, Alec Sulkin and Deepak Sethi and directed by Greg Colton.

This episode features guest performances by Cate Blanchett, Max Burkholder, John Finnemore, Colin Ford, Ioan Gruffudd, Tom Hollander, Rachael MacFarlane, Chris O'Dowd, Jeff Ross, and Joshua Rush, along with several recurring guest performers for the series.

In this British version of the series, Neville (Peter) states that he is going to the pub to meet his friends, much to Lydia's (Lois) irritation.

The story ends showing that Peter appears insane and has cut both his hands off, a solution that prevents him from bringing any new clones into the world.

As Lois reads a bedtime story about the town from Footloose, a drunken Peter rudely interrupts for sex as Stewie is forced to listen.

As far as the repetitive nature of Family Guy goes, at least this technique has a reasonable track record of success, so it's not all that surprising that the first segment in this anthology is one of the best moments for the show all year.

"[2] BBC Three showed a repeat of this episode in the United Kingdom on August 11, 2014, the day that Robin Williams committed suicide.

A BBC spokesperson said: The episode ended just as the news broke about his death, this was a repeat that we have shown a couple of times before so who could have planned that?
