Joking Apart

You may have been drawn to this show by the success of Cold feet

Well congratulations you've found a pure gem of a show, a little two dark and close to home for some people but this Bittersweet tale of a relationship gone wrong is simply excellent and thoroughly compelling. Using the Stand up introduction that was later popularised by Seinfeld the show manages to draw you into the life of the main characters flawlessly and is at times truly touching.

A must see Highly recommended

This was one of the great British TV comedies. A gem of a show, but no-one remembers it now. I remember it being shown around 9pm on BBC2 on a week night.

It was a great farce, fantastic acting, real laugh-out-loud moments.

I wish they would show it again.....

Brilliant, slides-off-chair-onto-floor-laughing, clever writing. If the BBC or anyone ever show this series again; watch it! The answering machine episode is a comedy masterpiece. This would fit brilliantly into a Steven Moffat DVD box-set along with Coupling et al. Someone? Please?

This short series, about a stand-up comic and his on-off relationship with a sharp-tongued Becky, is just hilarious. It was re-broadcast in the States on PBS. There were several episodes that got me laughing so hard I didn't think I could stop. Classic timing, classic comedy. I wish it were available on tape or DVD. I taped a couple of episodes, but would like to have the entire series. Highly recommended.

I adored this show so much when it was on and have every episode on video..but they are worn out now! The comedy was wonderful, the acting sublime, and even now I laugh my head off.

A dedicated fan has actually taken it on himself to get the DVD out with full co operation from the parties involved and it is due for release on the 29th May 2006.....

Which is brilliant news for all us die hard fans out here who could never understand how it was never shown again. I cannot wait.

My favourite episode is actually the birthday party one...but I won't give away the plot to it as it will give away the laughs.
