I'm really pleased they've commissioned another series - I thought it was brilliant - very funny and marvellously acted!

I hardly watch any telly but, since I've just invested in a new set (all of £99, from Asda) I thought that I'd give it a go tonight. (Yes, I realise that it was the end of the series but I thought that I'd at least find out whether it would be worth watching the inevitable repeats that are bound to be on at a later date).
Unfortunately it didn't really 'grab me', and I found very little humour in it, but I might still give it another try sometime. (i.e. at least it wasn't totally unwatchable like, say, the totally dire 'Not Going Out')

Good grief...we agree about something, Svejk! I loved the preview comments in The Times yesterday about the series. Here's just the opening few sentences:
"It's hard to describe why this series has been such a delight. It is, after all, a comedy that isn't funny and a drama that isn't dramatic. It's the gentlest of gentle stories about friendship at its most undemonstrative and eccentricity at its least self-conscious..."
It goes on in that vein, but that gives a flavour. I loved the thing from start to finish!

I apologised because I don't take The Times every day, but only on Saturdays. That's because I need access to The Listener crossword, published therein, and - since my wife and I do an ordinary Times crossword from books every evening after dinner - the only daily Times crossword of the week from the actual paper.
Accordingly, when you referred to the 'Culture' section, I had no idea on which day that appeared, so just assumed it accompanied the issue for the day I referred to. It doesn't, I now see, so I apologised, thinking I might cause you to look in a place where you would, in fact, not find it!
Seemed to me like the polite thing to do, but what the hey...I'm glad to hear there is more than one view we share!
