    Brilliant!

    Take Meet The Parents, turn it into a series, add a obsessed lover, add more humour and a dog in cement mixer and what do you get? You get one of the funniest series ever. I only happen to come across the series when i was just sorting my work out and the t.v was running. After i was just hooked on watching it.

    It is terrific stuff! Series like these should be made more often though not out and out copies.

    Ben Miller is top-class as groom-to-be. Ben Stiller had his moments in Meet The Parents but Miller easily can give him a run for his money. Top Stuff.

    My grief that i missed the first episode of it. However, this is still without doubt a much watch for any comedy lover.

    Derivative but strangely refreshing

    Okay, so you could almost describe it as Britain's answer to 'Meet the Parents', but that is doing this fantastic sitcom a huge disservice. Ben Miller and Sarah Alexander do a fantastic job as an uptight, very much in love and very middle class couple, desperate to get through their pre-wedding week, and the casting of Alison Steadman as the hysterical perfectionist seating plan obsessed mother is a masterstroke. The comedy is constantly farcical and slapstick, but without becoming gross-out (i.e.Farrelly brothers). Do not let claims of tired ideas being rehashed put you off this fantastic britcom, because yes, the basis of the sitcom has been visited a few times before, but this is a fresh take, and the result is an invigorating and exciting exercise in programming. Highly recommended!

    Laughed more than usual

    I'm a hard person to get to laugh at any show. I don't know if it was just stupid enough, or actually funny. How can anyone be as clumsy and accident prone? It's good for a laugh, if you need it.

    Super funny.

    Three genuinely wonderful, and funny series of this underrated, and slightly forgotten gem.

    Each series focuses on a week in the life of Howard and Mel, from their wedding to Christmas.

    There are plenty of belly laughs for you to enjoy, the very first, and second episodes I would argue are the best of the lot in my opinion, and contain moments that are quite literally aide splitting, poor Binky.

    Everyone involved is first class, I cannot help but ball laughing every time Dick and Angela appear, they are incredibly funny. Lee Mack quite literally took the character of Dick, renamed him Geoffrey, and placed him into Not Going out.

    It's slapstick, it's silly, it's a bit daft, but it is genuinely funny throughout, I just wish we had more of Cassie.

    Love it, 8/10.

    F***ing Funny!

    Although I would slightly agree that this program is a slight rip-off of "meet the parents" etc., I would also say that it is much funny!

    Some of the jokes are obviously going to happen, and you find yourself squirming for Howard. The other jokes come from nowhere and are hillarious.

    It may well be unbelievable at times, but that is what true comedy is about! Not boring dull American comedy...

    My advise would be to watch the first episode for yourself and if you don't like it or have "seen it all before" then don't watch anymore!

    Personally, I can't wait until this comes out on DVD! :)
