peter_hmfc Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Thought it was still dire tbh. Never laughed once and it seemed to just plod along without trying to be funny whilst focusing on the story only, strange for a comedy show.

Tynieman Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I think the main issue is that they can no longer get off doing half the stuff they did in the earlier series. I'm currently watching series two on Netflix and not in a million years could the BBC show half of it in this day and age (wrongly in my opinion). Doesn't excuse some of the poor characters but it goes some way to explain the drop in quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Munro Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Thought the episode was garbage, it was like they forgot to add the jokes. If this was season 2/3 I'd say an insurance scam was unlikely, because it seemed too obvious (the TV insurance scam mentioned at the start was a hell of a signpost). I'm sure that is what they'll go for now. Which is a shame. Edited March 11, 2019 by Bunny Munro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
