i could only manage a few minutes. it seemed to be another "comedy" with no laughs. something about some people in bed and one of them is talking about an ex, and then the ex rings up, and the other one looks a bit cross. or something. i waited for a joke which didn't come and then switched off.
 

That's like giving up with your tunneling just a metre outside the bullion vaults.

Just finished watching, and was not disappointed in the slightest. Ab-so-fucking-lutely brilliant. Leon is an AMAZING character, brought to life so unutterably perfectly by Tom Hollander that he really makes the whole show. Had me laughing out loud all the way through, and that's rare. I really, REALLY want to see more. PLEEEEASEEEEEEEEEEE make some more, BBC!

Maybe I should actually watch it.

Are they all on iplayer?
 

You haven't watched it yet?!

(Actually, I haven't watched series 3 of The Mighty Boosh yet, so am in no place to criticise or judge.)

And I would expect that they are, yes. Apparently it's out on DVD on March 31st too.

Ok, I thought the writing was fine, but it's the quality of the cast that really brings it to life, everyone's so wonderful, especially Tom Hollander as Leon. Hugh Bonneville and Elizabeth McGovern were fab too.

I'll slip you a DVD of Hotel in Amsterdam if you're interested Aaron - 1.5 hours of Tom Hollander being petty and spiteful.
 

But in an hilariously vulnerable way, with the elements of patheticness of Leon?
