I just turned 50, so I find it amazing that I like this program so much. It's crude and juvenile (perhaps not surprising, as writer Susan Nickson was only 19 when it started) and the acting is sometimes wooden; but it really does grow on you after a while, and there are some genuinely funny moments.
The young cast are likable and have bags of energy, and the acting does get better as the series goes on. Maybe it's the British heritage of naughty postcards and 'Carry On' movies, but I'd far prefer to watch this lot than the sugary-sweet 'Friends'.
It's also spawned some of the best out-take shows you'll ever see.
