is fantastic.

Became a dad for first time a few months back and wouldn't have understood it B4 that, but it is so true.

Friday 9-9.30 pm. Written and directed by Ben Elton

Me too, but I find some of the jokes a bit laboured and unfunny. Not Ben Elton's finest work.

My god didn't realise it was Ben Elton. Saw it once a couple of weeks back and certainly didn't strike me as Ben Elton material, in either quality or style.

Love this programme and find it a perfect illustration of Young Parents' Life. It is so true.

It's got Ben Elton stamped all over it - which is probably why I like it (I also wonder whether Ian Hislop has had any input? - It certainly bashes the lefties and looney liberals. The teacher, the feminist reducing man's role in every book in the class).

But we all know what's the best and truest thing in the programme:

Can't collapse the pram? Then kick it to death!!!!

PS Is that Roland Rivron (sp)? I wonder if he write the lines relating to music. i.e., the Patti Boyd/Eric Clapton/George Harrison stuff last night (11/11).

I avoid it like the plague. I seem to catch the last couple of minutes of it before HIGNFY. It seems a total load of rubbish. I hate anything about young couples.
