An enjoyable start.

Laurie Nicholls, pub landlord has moved on leaving his pub to his son Stephen, but there's a complication, foster brother Andrew has turned up.

I liked it, I've just finished watching Home, which had me captivated, this popped up as an option, so I gave it a go, I am a fan of Mitchell and Webb, and expected something similar to Peep Show, there's a vibe, but this is a little more normal, and definitely darker.

This episode served to set the scene, to introduce the characters, it made me chuckle, the guys are great, Geoffrey McGivern is insanely funny, and of course it features the wonderful Penny Downie.

A good start, this is going to be great. 7/10.

Warning: Spoilers
For fans of the Peep Show and even those who aren't, this new Channel 4 series has something to offer. The pacing is a little slow, and some of the family members are a little repetitive and dull, but the two main stars deliver.

It is a predictable dynamic between the two main leads, but still one that could be good as the series progresses.
