| BCG Review: |
Disappointing, a second series seems very unlikely. Despite
featuring a great cast this sitcom was a total failure, we
blame the weak script. The few jokes that were in the script
seemed forced and were rather childish. Edmondson was also
a disappointment having lost the hilarious manic energy he
displayed in many of his previous TV appearances (most notably
in "Bottom",
"The Young Ones"
and "Blackadder").
Shame.
