I couldn't get into it. It seemed a little too...I don't know. Kind of contrived, really. Although I can see what they were doing. Flowed well. Just not a lot of jokes there, or if there were I missed them!

Not unknown.

I liked it. Its not laugh-a-minute but a nice story with a few good laughs. I was getting a bit sick of Matthew Horne being in everything but its a role he does well. I will be watching more.

Star spotters will have noticed Julia Davis in episode two. Fantastic lines.

Oh bugger, I didn't watch episode 2.
 

I thought it was great, really funny, warm and full of great characters plalyed expertly by a really good cast. Watch it without bringing a load of cynical baggage to the table and you might just enjoy it you know.

I agree with that. There are quite a few comedy writer wannabes here that seem to slate everything from the start. Everyone has different tastes when it comes to comedy but I think you have to be quite broad minded and less cynical if you want to write for it. Alternatively, you have to write something better. Good luck.

I'll make a point of watching it

Well I didn't make much of a point did I?

Very mixed opinions I see so "I'll make a point of watching it" on Thursday.

Hear, hear! I've been thinking (and occasionally saying) the same thing for months now. It's rather indicative, in a way. And, I fear, may very well be keeping our membercount down.
