Recap / The Secret Show S 2 E 12 Its A Hamster World

Go To

It's raining outside, so U.Z.Z has time on their hands. Victor makes Ickle Babykins recall his time in the field with Lucy Woo, but the team discovers that his photo has a code on it...

Changed Daily's Name: Ickle Babykins.

Secret Tropes uncovered:

  • Don't Wake the Sleeper: Ray and the other U.Z.Z. agents do this at the start of the episode, in order to not wake up Sweet Little Granny.
  • Ironic Echo: Ickle Babykins mentions to Lucy Woo has been keeping fit all these years due to being on a hamster wheel. Lucy remarks the same to Ickle at the end of the episode after he falls out of a hamster wheel.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Hamster Man, after finally agreeing with Anita and Lucy about being an animatronic, is much more apologetic and tries to make amends before he gets shut down.
  • Once an Episode:
    • Sweet Little Granny is taken out of the studio while she sleeps, and Ray whispers orders to the agents.
    • Changed Daily's name is "Ickle Babykins" for the episode, much to his frustration.
  • Retraux: Ickle's memory is prefixed by a title sequence to a '30s styled "The Secret Show" intro sequence (and even recreates the opening gag of Anita and Victor jumping from the titles to something in the episode).
  • Running Gag: U.Z.Z agents singing "It's a Hamster's World!".
  • The Unreveal: Ickle's real name is never revealed, being conveniently masked over by sound effects when he is getting Lucy out of the prison. It seems to end in "augh" or an "o" sound, judging by what little we hear of it.
