A really funny sitcom that ran for two series, if memory serves shown late on BBC, and passed over by volume audiences. Such a shame, because it's actually a terrifically funny show, with some cringeworthy moments.
A really funny show from start to finish. You couldn't really say Simon Amstell was the best actor on the planet, but his awkwardness is brilliantly realised. He's surrounded by a wealth of talent, Rebecca Front, Linda Bassett and Sam Spiro. The characters are brilliantly funny and realistic, the awkward moments are fantastic, particularly those involving Clive.
I'm a huge fan of Sam Spiro, I love the character of Liz, her Uma Thurman is hilarious, she's so talented, every time she laughs I hear Barbara Windsor.
So many incidents in the show remind me of stuff from my own crazy family, I think it's the real life humour that makes it so funny. Poor Grandma Lily trying to keep everyone happy, and failing miserably.
Great show, 9/10.
