Brilliant, daring new comedy or trying to be too clever for it's own good?  Personally I think it's hilarious. Last night's episode (yes, I stayed in, by myself, like the single saddo I am) had me laughing out loud at least 4 times...

Agreed, love it. Don't like that guitar riff they keep using over and over and the speeding up bit but that Sue White character is genius.
I think it's fantastic and an ingenious mixture... I love how it's essentially a sketch show, but everything happens in order, almost like a soap... I watched an episode earlier on at a friend's house and we were all in tears!
Yes , i'm hooked on it too. It just keeps getting better and better.

Great! I'm glad everyone agrees...I love the mum who works in human resources, the one who spilt her sea monkeys all over her keyboard...and I must confess, having a huge crush on Dr Boyce does help matters somewhat!
Ooh , he's gorgeous Georgit ! Makes staying in on a Friday night all wothwhile lol ! What's the name of the doctor again who kept chasing Joanna like a pathetic little lapdog ? I can't for the life of me remember and it's bugging me now. I thought it was funny when Joanna spurned him and he took to a milk float , doing about 2mph and throwing bottles of milk at passing women , shouting at them. He's quite deranged but funny to watch. I think that they are all good characters in their own way. At last , a comedy which isn't made up of the same old regurgitated American Friends/Frazier/Will and Grace format. Long may it last.

It's Dr Alan Statham- he's so good it hurts..I can barely watch him, he makes me cringe so much.

By the way, which one is Sue White?

Sue White is the mad Scottish personnel (?) lady who was also in Book Group. I think she's my favourite - the scene a few weeks ago where Dr Statham was in her office complaining about the black IT guy (don't recall his name) cos he was jealous of Joanna fancying him and she stuck her face in the chocolate cake to illustrate that she thought he was being racist - HILARIOUS. Here's hoping they release it on DVD!
Thanks Georgit , that's the very man. You've put me out of my misery now.

Did you see the bit on Friday where one of the human resources girls was asking the drippy doctor (I'm not too good with names) if her boobs were even?! Brilliant...

Michelle Gomez (who plays Sue White) is an unexplainable comic genius. The Scottish acent delivers so much into the character, and I wouldn't be surprised if she edits her lines herself! Especially that chocolate cake bit!! Pure class!!

I love the mad personnel woman, the pervy head of radiology and the sex mad blonde woman. I'm not so keen on Dr Todd, although weirdly enough she's the only one whose name I can remember.
I gots love for Guy. And a little bit for Martin. But Mac's fugly.

Does anybody know when the next series will be filmed? They can't do this to us! Mac is far to noble to die! As for Martin, I loved his plaintive 'Guy botoxed my legs...' line. Priceless.

And: Guy: You keep a hypodermic in this?

Joanna: Don't worry, it's heroin.

Guy: What's this... [chemical name] ...ah, botox.

I can't believe it finished like that!!! Can't wait until the next series comes out...  But just so im sure - does that mean that Mac isn't going to Sheffield?  Because he would be missed incredibly! So gorgeous!!  And the best line of the entire series? "SHEEEEEEEEP!!!!" Green wing rocks!!
What a topper of a final show that was on Friday ! I thought that it was so funny , pure genius. You wonder what kind of a mind thinks up plots like that though !!! Roll on the next series.

Brilliant! I'm so glad I was all boring and stayed in on Saturday night to watch the re-run...all I ask is that next series Dr Boyce is in it more!

Brilliant. Oh, I've said that already...

Mmmmm. Now that would be good Georgit. He's lovely. I think that E4 are showing all the episodes again so I think i'll watch them all over again. I thought that maybe channel 4 would show something really naff in it's place on a Friday night like they normally do when something good ends but I see that they are showing the Simpsons , so i'll let them off with that !
Absolutely Brilliant.. the best thing on TV in ages. if a 64 year old, a 51 year old and a 19 year old can enjoy the same comedy then they are doing something great!!!  The final episode had us laughing, cringing and peeing ourselves... We want more,,,,, especially me.. I lust after Mac !!!!!!
I think this has to be the best piece of comedy writing since Spaced. Does anyone know if it's going to be released on DVD at all?
OK, so I was watching the last episode on vid last night and the tape stopped just before the end. What happened? I saw the bit where Martin got Botoxed but what happened after that?
