... filmed in spoof documentary style with lashings of reality TV and almost-fake community compassion (courtesy of the local Reverend played perfectly by Paul Cahidi) this show will have you doubled up in laughter. On the other hand it contains scenes from modern life and references to it which would be all too depressingly common, even personal once or twice, if it were not for the complete panache and handle Daisy and Charlie Cooper have on their respective characters. A very pleasing aspect of the series as a whole is its completeness. Unlike many TV sitcoms which either peter out or over engineer a hyped up finale, it just doesn't end in TV Land, but actually concludes in a way that is entirely related to the beginning ensuring that the ending, while sad, is satisfactory and you feel firmly planted in This Country as our country now.
I do hope the Coopers go on to more success and that the actor who played the cheeky naive vicar pops up again in a future comedy or anything really...
Highly recommended.
