BSG Review:

This sitcom is one of those you either love or hate. Viewers split into two groups - those that can't stand the slow pace with few obvious laughs and those that love the subtle humour, family values and 'realistic' pauses.

Notes:

The final special aired on the 29th October (you can get it on DVD)

An expanded and updated guide to the show here soon hopefully
