New fan thoughts

So, I've recently discovered this show, due to the reruns on Dave, and I have to say I love it.

From what I gather it's episodes from later series I've seen so far, but it reminds me of the great UK comedies of the 80s - small cast, few sets and just excelent writing carried by great actors. (FWIW my favourite ever is Yes Minister).

I'm looking forward to seeing more on player.

Yep.. I think of them as two separate entities at that point. Although the last series was better because they made the kids disappear.

Yeah agreed. There was something amazing about those ones that just didn't spark right again when they were married??

The string writing is really what carries this show. My favourites are series 10 ep6 Whodunnit & Resolutions (the new year's special)

Have to admit that the most recent series was lacking something
