Bad Move

ITV rarely produces a good sitcom but, with Bad Move, here is a formula that works. It reminds me of Doc Martin in terms of a grumpy main character with a supporting cast all with their own quirks. Good timing and tight scripts - it's one of those shows that will probably get better as it beds in and character story lines develop.

Seeing as there is no swearing or inappropriate scenes this makes an ideal watch for the family. Always makes us laugh and we look for for every Wednesday for the next episode. Overall a great show with colourful characters and a great story line. It also helps that actors such as Jack Dee, Kerry Godliman and Miles Jupp are included for a entertaining experience.

Having proved his skill in a sitcom before in the form of 'Lead Balloon', which ran for four successful series, it's a surprise to see Jack Dee returning to the genre again.

This new show isn't quite as funny (based on the first episode) as 'Balloon' was, with the supporting cast's characters not being half as entertaining/endearing as those that Dee's Rick Spleen had to deal with.

It has potential, but it'll be interesting to see what Dee does with the 'city folk move to the country' set up that 'The Good Life' and 'The Green Green Grass' didn't do previously.

Takes a lot to hold my attention for long with new comedy programs, brought up in the 60's kinda spoilt it for the newer stuff, but this is top drawer, I must admit i was never a Jack Dee fan, I could take him or leave him, but this series has totally changed my opinion, mans a comedy genius, best series since Early doors

This comedy is refreshing and well written. Jack Dee's character is excellent and you really do start to care about the characters. Bizarre and hilarious mix of village folk. All my family loved it, especially as it aired the week my brother moved to a house in the country.
