| BSG Review: |
The Green Green Grass was always going to have a tough start - after all, being the spin-off from Britain's favourite sitcom does bring with it some pressure and an expectation that things are going to be roll-on-the-floor funny from the word go.
Whilst most viewers felt a little disappointed that the first series wasn't pure Sullivan magic, if you forget about the heritage of the show, The Green Green Grass isn't actually that bad. Admittedly some of the jokes are lame and it isn't the most free flowing sitcom to have ever been made but there are some funny moments; Farm Manager Elgin Sparrowhawk (played by David Ross) is a great new sitcom character for example. |
