Home from Home

Oscar Kennedy was his usual brilliant self, the greatest natural i've seen in years, even if its not my kinda picture i'll watch it cause Oscar's in it & if the film isn't great its Oscar who gives it life.

Absolutely love home from home it's a good old fashioned English comedy with warm characters who you love. You find yourself rooting for Neil but laughing at his failures also. Love it

Can't believe this was commissioned the pilot was dreadful but thought I would give it the benifit of the doubt ,big mistake some of the most unendearing characters on tv with a pathetic storyline

I watched the pilot and thought that this is like those unfunny comedy shows that used to be on ITV. But I watched the first episode of the series because Emilia Fox was in it. The writing seems to be better and the gorgeous Niky Wardley is always worth watching. I would have given the pilot a so-so average 5 but now I give it a 7.

I absolutely love Emilia Fox in this series where she is a world apart from her character in Silent Witness. Here she hilariously plays the spoilt upper crust neighbour showing she's the best character in this show. Adam James as her husband Robert is terrific also.

In the pilot Joanna Page from Gavin and Stacey played Fiona Hackett and to be honest I felt she was a better fit than Niky Wardley in later episodes. Niky and Johnny Vegas didn't gel as a couple. Weird casting there.

I do agree with the reviewer here called Rossgary, (who is either Oscar Kennedy himself or a relative and leaves glowing reviews all over this app for Oscar) that Oscar is great as Garth Hackett showing a great sense of comedic timing. However sadly, as seems to happen to child actors, they seem to fade or lose that spark when older. It was disappointing to witness this in the recent series Missing You. Maybe Oscar is better with comedy, I can't be sure.

Home from Home has a good supporting cast and is a favourite that I have watched over and over. My favourite episode is Johnny and Emilia's characters lost on the mountain.
