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.

For me it's one of the best British comedies ever made.
Of course so many things happening is unrealistic but virtually all of them are entirely plausible and both the casting and acting are superb.
So many laugh out loud moments.
Such as shame at least another series wasn't made but I have enjoyed watching the show three times.

I've never felt compelled to write a review or reply to anything on the net but this is pure genius!
Ben Miller is perfectly cast as a hapless groom to-be, with an incredible knack of constantly digging an ever deeper hole for himself, in the lead up to his impending marriage.
Every week i'd look forward to watch the next cringe worthy installment. It makes a refreshing change to watch a genuinely laugh-out-loud comedy without canned laughter. You'll laugh in all the right places (and sometimes wrong!) Head, shoulders, body and feet above any recent sit-coms. A riotous laugh! Truly fantastic.

I live in the Netherlands, and I know not one tv-station that put this on tv. It was a pure coincidence that I saw a short fragment on the internet. And later also "The worst Christmass of my live". In the Netherlands it was never seen on tv. What a pitty. If you put it now, in this age, it will be stil a great succes. Every episode it's hilarious!! The "unlucky" guy is currently playing in "Death in paradice" as a English inspector to helping the "simple and small" Police force. In the series "the worst week of my live " he is very much in love and wanted to married his girlfriend. There is only one problem, the Girls parents. It's always with the best intensions, but the guy have a aura that says "Keep your distance for your own health".
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! :)
