Well, it went from passable to running on empty and looking every inch the ITV sitcom.
More Bottom humour creeping in with the brick through the window three times. They did the yellow clothes 'gag' to death. Did she really ask if he put his cycling gear in the wash? (Someone should tell Adrian Edmondson that audiences are sophisticated. We can see what's happened without it being explained)
The Chinese guy went from being all right to OTT. And he had such long lines. I was bored halfway through him saying them. Vernon living in the cupboard is a thin joke stretched out. The bit with him cooking and cleaning was very laboured and his friend Brian is like a cardboard cutout. None of them are characters!
Finishing work and having to get up again was also done to death and done a hundred times better in The Simpsons. And how long did the montage go on for?
