I think that it could have been resolved with fewer episodes.

So did Sullivan, I think I'm right in saying.

The end of series 2 last night, great ep and the intended end of the sitcom proper, but followed up with a 90 minute Christmas special prequel as a send off for its fans. Such was the furore from the fans that it and the couple ended, Sullivan had to bring them back for a final series two years later.

Absolutely. I would have honestly liked to see them part forever as I don't think that they're a particularly great match when all's said and done. I reckon that, if it was a real life scenario that they wouldn't be still together.

Yeah when I recently watched S3 not having seen any of it before, I thought it had lost some of the sparkle of the first two series but then JS did have a lot on his plate at the time with OFAH and Dear John both going strong. But it still won a Bafta for the best comedy that year and I believe he got a lot of praise from women at the time for the way he made Penny more independent and successful in her career.

I'm now ploughing through S3 and it's dragging. I think that it could have been resolved with fewer episodes.

That's a very good point. Penny, despite being privately educated, didn't seem to shine a great deal during the first two series. I also wondered why she didn't embark on any other relationships other than Vince and Graham? She was (and still is!) an extremely attractive woman.

Because she was a maungy cow. (Yorkshire word derived from the invading vikings)
Nobody would stick her for long

Actually, she is! Nail hit on head

Naughty boy! I don't think that I would have jumped Nicholas' bones, though, but I would have loved to run my hands through his Golden Retrieveresque locks.
