Series one of Pulling starts as Donna ditches her slightly beige and boring fiancé Karl, just days before their wedding. This unceremonious rejection catapults Karl head-first into a spiral of suicidal depression.

After her break up, Donna moves in with single friends, Karen and Louise, in Penge. So it's the three girls together, sharing the most exciting years of their lives. Well, almost...

It turns out being single again isn't as fun as it first looked to Donna. She is soon wishing she was back with Karl... however, her ex has now recovered from his breakdown and is moving on with his life without her!

Our Review: This is one of those dark comedies which attempts to make you laugh by putting the characters in depressing, unfortunate or embarrassing situations and then saying "hey, look, your life isn't as bad as these people's - feel happy". The thing is, this one really works!

Pulling is a spot-on reflection of how bleak life can be when you're desperately trying to find you way through life and relationships.

We must admit that, first time around, series one of Pulling didn't really catch our eye; but, when re-watching it on repeat, it dawned on us that under the layers of darkness one of the best new sitcoms for a long time was hiding.

This sitcom is packed full of great writing, acting and very funny scenes (like Donna going to see her boss to ask for a pay rise, only for it to transpire that due to a mistake she was actually being over-paid).

Series two not only picked up where the first left off, but pushed things further still - we absolutely loved it!

In what must be one of the worst commissioning decisions of the year, BBC Three controller Danny Cohen has decided to axe the show despite the growing audience share and critical praise the show picked up this year. What an idiot.

As a result of this monumentally bad decision, we will only have one final 60-minute special to look forward to. We live in hope that BBC Four will spot this mistake and somehow find the money to allow the show to transfer channels.
