New Sue Perkins vehicle.

Love Sue so watching this quite keenly

Anyone else watching- what are thoughts so far?

Joe_Zel · 27/02/13 - 03:10

It's Silas! :eek:

Time to crisp up kitty:D

am watching

smokencheese · 27/02/13 - 03:10

Awful, so far.

Smug, self-indulgent and done alot better by so many before.

[Deleted User] · 27/02/13 - 03:12

I'm watching and really want to like it because I really like Sue Perkins, but I'm finding it a bit laboured so far.
Early days though - I'll give it time to get going.

My husband is watching, I didn't think the wrapping up of the cat was very funny. I hope my friend isn't watching she's just had to have her cat put down and she was very upset

21stCenturyBoy · 27/02/13 - 03:13

I've always found the first episodes of a sitcom a bit laborious.

Made me smile a few times, though, as you say, it's early days!

21stCenturyBoy · 27/02/13 - 03:16

Mark Heap playing quirky again- Brian, Dr Statham, that neighbour in Friday Night Dinner.

habby · 27/02/13 - 03:17

He can only do that one character all the time can't he!!? :rolleyes:

He gets everywhere he was in Holby City earlier

smokencheese · 27/02/13 - 03:20

It's getting worse.. Even the brilliant Mark Heap is made unfunny by the writing.

Is Sue Perkins supposed to be annoying and unfunny?

21stCenturyBoy · 27/02/13 - 03:22

Is that Mad Maya from Coronation Street?

I like it, but the quirkiness of Sarah feels forced.

LostFool · 27/02/13 - 03:22

Not brilliant so far but I've seen worse and it has a good cast so I'm prepared to give it a chance.

[Deleted User] · 27/02/13 - 03:23

No one invites me to parties.

spookyLX · 27/02/13 - 03:25

it's not brilliant but it is watchable

bigpod · 27/02/13 - 03:28

I think I'm watching something different to you lot. I find it really, really good.

Joe_Zel · 27/02/13 - 03:28

Not bad, not brilliant, just ok.

Glad you're enjoying it, Sue!

smokencheese · 27/02/13 - 03:30

Thank god that's over.

Unrealistic, unlikable characters with a really lame script.. Not for me, thanks.

I do like it and I will definitely watch it next week

[Deleted User] · 27/02/13 - 03:31

Not sure the cat gag worked for me but I think there's potential.

[Deleted User] · 27/02/13 - 03:31

It warmed up a bit in the last few minutes, I thought, so hopefully will be better next week now that the scene has been set.

harrypalmer · 27/02/13 - 03:32

It's working for me so far. Not brilliant, but too many sitcoms have had rough starts for me to write it off at this stage.

It has some interesting quirks:the homosexual elements incorporated without being stereotyped, i.e. part of normal life. You don't get this in any sitcom I've seen.

I'll watch again.

21stCenturyBoy · 27/02/13 - 03:32

Will definitely be watching again.

pinkyponk34 · 27/02/13 - 03:34

It's OK I suppose, for someone who's not a sit-com writer it's a good opening episode.

[ and no gratuitous swearing ]

Yes, always dangerous to judge a new comedy by its first episode as there is so much exposition to do.

Always good to see Nicola Walker in anything.

Hey there!
