Again, yeah, good stuff. Nice gentle comedy for me, but not the typical 'gentle' studio fare. Thing. Yeah, anyway. I like it.

I think I've worked out the problem with this show - for me, anyway. The pace and rhythm of the script would far better suit a studio audience. For me the dialogue just isn't naturalistic enough to carry a laughter-free show. That's what's missing in my opinion. WE're getting typical feed-line / punchline type gags that you'd naturally expect to hear in a live studio audience situation, only with no audience.

That feels really weird to me.

Yes, something has been nagging at me with this one, I WANT to like it, but It feels forced and very ''music hall'' at times , probably because the last episode was set in a theatre ?


I think it would benefit from a more subdued delivery ,and less Max Wall impressions, I found that a bit cringy.
