Scarborough

I absolutely loved this series, right from the get go. Such a shame the BBC won't renew it. Some nob ed obviously got offended by something and then pulled the plug. Oh well, at least we got this series. Derren is such a great writer.

This is a wonderful series full of well-drawn and fresh characters set in a small-size situation. It's calmness to not be grand or go for set-piece gags sets it apart from many similar-looking sitcoms. Expect an easy-paced show with an easy mood as the characters push through some tough problems. The cast are great and give it backbone without any trying to grab the limelight.

As it happens, I watched this series during the Covid-19 lock-down. I'd have loved it anyway but here it was a much-needed dose of glorious outdoor shots and open space.

It may not be the cutting edge of comedy, but Scarborough makes me think of my area, just prettier. All of the characters can be identified as caricatures of northern working class pubs.

I can't express how much I think of it. If you like Still Open All Hours or Dad's Army, you'll probably like this.

Loved the first episode tonight. If you were expecting it to be just like Benidorm then you are mistaken. Darren Litten shows us that he is not a one trick pony with Scarborough. A down to earth great British comedy. In many ways just like still open all hours, and not just because Stephanie Cole and Maggie Ollerenshaw star in it. A light hearted comedy drama we can all relate to in one way or another.

This is what you need in lockdown. A good laugh and easy watch. Did all 6 episodes in one night and wish there was more, brilliant acting, silly and clever humour. You can't go wrong
