The best I could muster watching this was an odd smile. Brydon's performance is brilliant and the writing is excellent but this show is not very funny. If it is a comedy then it is the blackest I've ever seen. Watching somebody who is obviously a bit slow go through a heart breaking divorce, separation from his kids and generally get kicked around and not even trying to fight back is if anything a bit disturbing. Would give 5 if it was drama but just find hard to find funny which I think is the point of comedy. Am I missing something?

Am I really the only member of the general public who can see Rob Brydon for what he really is? (i.e. the poor man's Steve Coogan - just as Keith Barrett is the poor man's Alan Partridge). I mean, come on, the man can’t even have his ideas - he has to copy! I mean sure, during a 30 minute episode of any show featuring Brydon I'll manage to force out a laugh or two (if I'm very lucky & feeling generous! - hence the second star), but basically he just isn’t funny. It’s a real shame that Steve Coogan is doing very little television these days, especially when he’s being replaced with non-entities like Rob Brydon. These are really sad, sorry days for British television when this tripe ... Read More:

Comedy - like music - is very much up to ones own tastes, and what one individual may find hysterical, another may just find as nauseating as American sit-coms !! My own tastes tend to lean me towards such programs as Father Ted, Steptoe And Son', The Detectives, etc, but that said, I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed this 3 disc, 3 series, 19 episode, DVD. I didn't see this series when the BBC first broadcast it, and did not take an interest in it until a lesser UK satellite station ran it at a later date. I decided immediately that it was the kind of humour that appealed to me, and sought out the DVD on a well known auction site and High Street retailer. However, the initial price of £26 put me off, so it was not until the price was ... Read More:

This is not comedy in the Ab Fab sense; there are some laughs on the way but it's much deeper than that - in the same way that MAS*H was never "just a sitcom". It's fascinating how one's judgement of Joanna Lumley's character changes as the story unfolds... briliantly shot and the DVD commentary is interesting too.
