Anyone watch this last week? It's repeated tonight. Have only seen the second half so want to watch it all the way through..I loved what I saw. Seemed a bit 'Nutsinmay'ish'.

Saw it, loved it. Its intelligent, subtle and whimsically funny. It was all over too quickly which is always a good sign that something is good.

Good, a repeat. I thouht I'd missed it. I must run downstairs and set the recorder, as I am going to bed early. Thanks Tegansmile

I caught this last night, sort of accidentally. But I'm so glad I did as it's really lovely, gentle and quirky.

I had recorded this and watched them last night, lovely, I really enjoyed it, pity it is on so late.

Sorry this has finished, but there will be another series. No sex, no violence, but an intelligent, gently humorous script.

I absolutely loved the series. All good comedy has to have that slight touch of melancholy imo. Some of the dialogue between Mackenzie Crooke and his girlfriend was so touching [especially liked the bit where he asked her to come home with him but had to ask her to drive]. It was a little gem of a series and I'm so pleased that there will be another one. I actually found my sons old metal detector in the loft last week so I may give it a go grin.

Will you be specialising in ring pulls or buttons Tegan grin
