Misfire
Just had the misfortune to watch one episode of the first series on bbc4 probably the most boring uninspired show I've ever seen how it got a second series is beyond me,it had a poor man's butterflies feel to me.
I know Carla lane was known for women lead comedy but this show the man was really the lynchpin,how could you employ two of the most famous British actresses up against a jobbing actor and he simply didn't have the charisma to pull it of I see they sacked him for the second series I might watch 1 more episode to see if it made a difference Wasn't really funny and the biggest laugh I had was when he had to go out to a phone box to phone his mistress and realised this was probably why mobile's took of with businessmen.
