Matthew, you're quite clearly insane of Spears-proportions.
David, the guy's making a really weird point. If she was writing about successful people, his argument might actually make sense.

True, I already have officials trying to take away my children; and i dont even have any.
Tragically I was an only twin.

I think it's just a waste of comic acting talent.

I feel weird inside. I actually laughed a couple of times at this week's episode. o_O
Nevertheless, on the whole, it's just not funny. Out of 9 episodes broadcast to date, I should have laughed more than the two or three times I have done so. I'll admit I've found this and the previous episode (but not episode 1 or series 1) strangely watchable, but this is meant to be a sitcom. It's just not good enough, and I want to punch pretty much every one of the characters in the head.

Come on, it's getting better. I thought the first series was dire and a waste of the great talent on screen, but this series is a bit funnier.

I don't mind it (when I do actually watch it).
I like the mood of it.

I have been pleasantly surprised that this comedy is slowly turning a corner....... hopefully. The first series was extremely poor but it's starting to show glimmers of hope.
One thing from last night is Jennifer Saunders keeps the best one liners.

To be fair I don't think it was intended to be a rip-roaring gag fest (warning, don't google that phrase!).
Call it, I don't know, 'ambient' comedy? Yeah I like that - it's a nice euphemism.

Not bad, not bad indeed! After series one, I'd have more opted for "bag of shit" than "ambient comedy", but yes, I guess that's a good description! Very light, slightly comic drama.
Really doesn't deserve the sitcom title though. Awful. Trade Descriptions, I reckon!
