  You joined DS in May 2008 and it took you over four years to make your first comment?:eek:

  I watched it too!!
  
  I found it a little darker than I would normally be comfortable with - the emotional abuse of Helen was difficult to watch at times.
  
  But it did also make me laugh:D
  
  Some of the lines were:eek::D
  
  Not sure what to make of it to be honest, bu tI'll certainly be watching more of it.

  What a fitting tribute to Julia Davis that her new show was the driving force behind benyooro making their first ever post on DS after 4 years of presumably lurking

  Yes, I think it was a double bill.

  Have only watched the first 20 minutes but it reminds me of when I watched the first ever episode of 'Father Ted'.
  
  Just so off the wall it is captivating.
  
  Can't wait to watch the rest tomorrow

  Yes. Watched it this evening. Very clever and very funny and very well made.

  The bit where Dorothy made Helene 'spill' the bubbly milk was hilarious
  
  Reminded me a lot of something that Julia Davis' other alter ego Jill Tyrell from 'Nighty Night' might do.

  By coincidence I just watched Hitchcock's Rebecca before I watched Hunderby. It's a very clever spoof of it in some scenes and in others it departs. I liked it because it was funny but it is actually also intriguing, like a genuine period thriller.

  Exactly, there were a few points where the look of it was just so convincing as a period piece that it made it that much more funny when an outrageous bit came along

  I was really looking forward to this when I heard that Julia Davis had written it as I loved Nighty Night. However, bar a couple of funny parts it was nowhere near as good. I'll continue watching to see if it improves.

  The confession letter under the door, which went under the carpet. was from Thomas Hardy's Tess of the D'Urbervilles.

  Does anyone know the locations, particularly the beach at the start? It looked mighty familiar to me.

  I can't wait to see the next episode, I really loved last weeks.
  
  Bubbly Milk and Bird Raymond made me laugh every time and I don't know why.

  Ahh, I thought that was it. My parents always used to take us there in the 70's. It would seem a strange coincidence to me, but then they were always going to film somewhere, and that beach would be known to certain members of the public.

  I knew it was from a "set book" but couldn't remember which one.
  
  We switched this off after about 45 mins. I'd hoped it would be darker and less knowing. But it was very predictable - you knew that when she climbed into his bed he'd say there was something he really wanted, and it would turn out to be his bubbly milk - and there's always a problem with costume comedy when the actors look like they're having more fun than the audience.
  
  It's good to see Sky commissioning new comedy and it's good that some clearly enjoyed this, but I found it too slow and the humour too obvious.

  We're really enjoying it here. Funny, intelligent, nicely acted and so weird it's utterly compelling.
