Loved it!
For me, the two shining stars are Frances De La Tour and Marcia Warren! |

Just as bad as the first season.
Shame - such talent wasted on such poor material |

Yes he was introduced in s1e1 as a new neighbour who didn't know anyone or anything
![]() I realise he is intended to be the gormless eye candy but even so. |

This is the episode I saw being recorded. Celia Imrie, Frances de la Tour and McKellen and Jacobi... such talent wasted on such a lame script, unfortunately.

I hope it picks up a bit.
It didn't seem very Vicious to me. |

I though this first episode was excellent.
Some of it was naff, but it had so many laugh out loud moments that easily made up for it. |

Well, I enjoyed it. Sometimes you need comedy to be realistic for it to work, other times just way over the top.
I think Celia Imrie had problems not laughing at times; such a pity she's not in more episodes. |

I totally loved it and laughed my socks off - what a sublime cast they have.
I still think Ash is the weak link though. I understand the reason for the character's existence, I just think sadly the actor doesn't measure up, which tbf would be almost impossible, given the people he's surrounded by. |

I know humour is subjective, but i find the show hilarious.
Violet is wonderful, as is Penelope, the sniping between Freddie and Stuart, i just find the whole show very funny. |

We were really looking forward and weren't at all let down.
Such a brilliant show!

I think we can all agree that it's not actually very good, is it? But that doesn't stop it having some laugh out loud moments.
It really does inhabut the same world as Gimme Gimme Gimme, which is no bad thing, in my book. Great to see some mature actors in primetime. |

Saw him interviewed when he recounted visiting a school where pupils gathered outside to see him He addressed them from an upstairs window urging them to revise for their exams or in Gandalf voice "YOU SHALL NOT PASS" |

They've definitely toned it down. It feels far more believable in terms of characterisation if not in script. Still love it but I think it's a shame they didn't keep hold of Celia Imrie for more than one episode; I think she's a great actress.

It was just as bad as its first series.
Ratings were more or less level with Finale of last series. Finale got 2.77 million, this episode got 2.99 million, so not much difference. However the last series Finale had almost halved its viewership from its opening episode, so both ratings are well down on the premier ratings. Im sure USA will lap it up though because its more their kind of comedy. |
