Here's a thread to discuss Empty - the new sitcom starring Gregor Fisher which starts on BBC Two not this Thursday but the one after (28th Feb).
Our guide to the show is here

The previews of this show are terrible so I'm not overly hopeful.

Another whimsical comedy on BBC Thursdays Are Funny - just what we were waiting for.

I rather enjoyed it. A few laugh out louds, good characters, and crucially accents not too thick. Nice programme.

No no no no no. It didn't work for me at all and I found myself turning over and watching Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles after ten minutes.

I liked it. It wasn't side-splittingly funny that's for sure but it benefited from having 2 fine actors, engaging characters and quite a nice gentle tone. I will watch it next week and am interested to see how it develops.

I think the jury is still out on this one.

I didn't watch it, cos I assumed I wouldn't be able to understand him.

Aw, I could have 'supplied' you with a copy if you'd said.

Didn't impress me too much. Some good lines but, from a writers point of view, I can't believe they got away with so much exposition at the beginning: "So tell me why you do this job", "well, I've told you before but I'll just repeat it again." That was one of the first things you are told not to do. It just didn't get me interested in the characters, and there didn't seem to be a plot.
Some people may call me a genius - let me know if you see any.
