Our Ex-Wife

This pilot is absolute quality writing.

My "second wife" and I laughed all the way through this from start to finish.

The synergies of my "ex-wife" was all too real :)

All the characters have strong and funny lines, which bounce off the central pair and cement the plot.

The one liner spats between the ex's were hilarious.

This pilot must to proceed into a full series.

Well done to the BEEB for having the vision to do this.

Fingers crossed we will see the characters and plot expand into a full series.

This is easily the most promising sitcom I have seen for a long time. I enjoyed it so much that I signed up to IMDb so I could write this review.

Having been through an acrimonious divorce myself, I wasn't sure if I would find this funny but this pilot has a similar excruciating resonance to that which made The Office so good.

I have been a fan of Robert Webb for a long time and this suits him down to the ground. In fact all the characters look very promising with plenty of scope for development.

The writing is very good indeed, very well observed and the humour is exquisitely brutal. Clearly some first hand experience at work here.

I cannot wait to see how this develops in the full series.

Is it me, or have most new TV sitcoms been a bit weak & soft of late? Or merely rewritten 'homages' to old sitcoms that should have instead been left to run repeatedly on 'Re-run Gold', or whatever those channels are called. Yes, it's time for Mrs Slocombe's pussy to be finally laid to rest.

Well 'Our Ex-Wife' was a refreshing change for the better. a brilliantly fast paced romp of a sitcom with a vicious edge as sharp as a well honed knife.

You'll know the story-line from the other reviews above, but have to watch the pilot show itself to truly appreciate the masterful writing and the stunning performances of its cast.

Victoria Hamilton was amazing as Hillary, the O.T.T. 'Cruella DeVille' of an ex-wife, whilst Robert Webb as Jack, her ex-husband, tried to give as good as he got. but usually failed.

Melanie Lynskey and Peter Egan were excellent as Sarah & George, Jack's new Fiancée and Father. Sarah trying feebly to form a bond with the 'psychopathic' Hillary, whilst George wisely trying to stay out of the line of fire as best he could.

Even the supporting actors were great, especially the kids.

At last we have a sitcom that is pure gold, and I for one cannot wait to see more episodes of 'Our Ex-Wife'as soon as possible.

Why is this still not being made? I remember this pilot from years back and still find myself awaiting the series. Maybe Robert Webb should find it himself? Surely we can crowd fund it? Or Netflix can pick it up?

This show is LOL!!! I don't understand why they only made 1 episode. That's right... 1 episode, not 1 season. Why do they tease us with such great TV and then deliver all that other crap! More of THIS show please.
