Few episodes then it gets kind of ridiculous. I was ecstatic when I found this then after a few episodes unfortunately that went away. I did not know this was Tom Davis from Murder in successville ( which I quite liked) . He's really funny, the wife, the dad and some of the others but the writing got so pathetic I had to, sadly give up after about 5 episodes.
The underlying driver in the plot here is Gary Kings need to be seen as 'top dog' in the suburban cul de sac where he lives. Much merriment at his expense ensues as his various schemes are shown up for the vacuous and pointless shows of wealth and status that they are. Good laughs to be had here!
I enjoyed the pilot and then the first series, 7/10 there were things I found irritating but then it was outweighed by the good.
However series two is abysmal, it almost went cartoony, the wife is absolutely horrific to watch, the mannerisms, plus her and Gary seem to really push this ridiculous accent and dialogue in parts it's awful, she has these awful facials and situations that are just awful, she is a real detriment to the show and it'd have been better played a bit less ridiculously and bit more natural.
Think the accents and script went downhill in 2, was really weak and they tried to hard to be funny, just fell flat, think there's a few laughs but not much.
There's a plethora of top kid actors... he's not one
Rest of the cast is meh, average at best, not sure having romesh was good or bad, but he had funny parts.
It could redeem itself but I genuinely detested the second series, I understand the choice for daft dialogue but the voices are just stupid.

This show is the sitcom equivalent of marmite, you love it or hate it!
I am a lover, relatable, silly, clean good humour, a few stereotypes but what sitcom doesn't? It's a show you can just pick up from anywhere and enjoy it. Well done Mr Tom Davis
I thought the plot, the actors, the dialogue, the comedy and witty-ness involved made up all the right elements to make a true, comedy gold series. Shame it's been taken down from iplayer already, but showed family and friends it whilst it was available to view and laughed hard every time i watched it!
FANTASTIC!

- TriviaUK television and radio industry magazine "Broadcast" reports that the sitcom has been re-commissioned for a second series. Viewing figures for series one have been disappointing with average ratings less than half that for the time-slot, however iPlayer requests have been encouragingly high. The BBC have now officially confirmed that a second series has been commissioned.
