guest appearances from mark hamill steven berkoff and tony robinson according to greg on last week's last leg-should be interesting

"Thumbing her pudding"

[BossHogg]

Steven Berkoff as the mad eastern European caretaker! absolutely barking mad!!!

Apart from a couple of scenes, splinter in the face and fox in the skip, it was a disappointment.

Hopefully it will get back on track next episode.

I thought it was great for a series opener - jelly bean American Beauty skit and the apearence of Baldrick.

That's what me and the missus said.

Episode 2 much better effort, 7/10.

Interesting as both myself and the wife thought it was a disappointment.

[stuartmmcfc]

I thought episode 2 was better, or at least more consistently funny.

Hmmmmm. It is a bit....disappointing, isn't it, this series?

I loved the other ones, but this series is reminding me more and more of Greg Davies in that Cuckoo that he also did, which I never really gelled with.

It's lost it's edgy, 'Pythonesque' silliness. Ok I know we can't have Rik Mayall's absurd character in it anymore, but the other characters have also gone a bit more straight. Plus we need more of the cafe owner screaming abuse too

I'll watch until the end though, I hope it picks up.

maybe you have to be in the right mood, but ep2 absoltuely nailed it for me!

I was literally LOLLAGING ha ha!

Best one of the series so far for me tonight , especially the guy in the street with the Scanners line.

[MrOnTheRopes]

Superb episode last night!

So many lines (like Partridge, requires many watches to catch them all), but the "you'll miss me?" bit was awesome - "This is my normal face. This is the face I'll have if I find out your plane's crashed. It's the same face."
