Baron99   801 #1 Posted September 7, 2019 Not a bad start to a new show from the writer of 'Benidorm', although I can't personally stand Jason Manford - poor man's Peter Jay.  Quite a few fimilar faces from the likes of Corrie, Benidorm & Open All Hours.  If anyone knows Scarborough, the kareoke pub in the series, 'The Ship' is actually 'The Newcastle Packet'. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

francypants   441 #3 Posted September 7, 2019 With it being written by the same writer as Benidorm, it will probably go the same way.   Started ok then got dafter and dafter until it became unwatchable.  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Nothing looks natural. When I think of the old comedy shows like Porridge,the new ones pale into insignificance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It was very forced and unnatural. When I think of the old sit coms like Dads Army and Steptoe and son, it makes me realise what good scriptwriters the people were who wrote them.
