I didn't think it was very funny.
It was a warm cup of cocoa where Absolutely Fabulous was a straight shot of Vodka. It was homey and nice. With a good plot and no apparent belly laughs. I think it delivered exactly what it wanted to. Sometime you folks just expect to much and then piss and moan when you don't get what you expected.
As far as Vivienne Vyle, I'll stand by my Film Noire statement. It was artsy AND fartsy.
Can I say again I disliked this programme.
Dawn French's character was one of the most unpleasant representations of a learning disabled character ever.
The rest of the show wasn't funny enough to compensate.

Yeah, she was pretty funny.
Dawn French AND Catherine Tate in the same show.
Truly evil is at work here.

Aren't you thinking of that other show? Wild West or something? Tate is a very fine comic actress; and French is . . . well . . . fat.
Oh sorry you know what you are right.
Getting my crap Dawn French Comedies mixed up.
There are so many.

French And Saunders . . . Dibley . . Wild West (or whatever) . . . I'm no French fan.
Murder Most Horrid was meant to be a comedy I think.
At least her husband is funny though, oh wait a minute....

Isn't the character supposed to be posessed of multiple personalities - so presumably only on eof them is learning disabled?
Nevermind, French is a truly atrocious actress. Did you see her In Larkrise? Did no-one tell her it wasn't a panto?
Quite liked the show when she and Saunders were not on screen. The script was not much, but a cast with that much comic talent could make near enough anything funny. And it had Kate Rusby singing a Kinks' song as the theme tune, for which I am prepared to forgive it anything.
Dawn's character is a rather hateful cocktail of everything nasty you can say about mental illness and learning disability.
Dropped in to have a bit fun, in a rather lifeless script.
I like Dawn's character!
Someone mentioned Wild West. That was a brilliant show. Catherine Tate is an actress in a caliber all of her own.
As far as complaining about homophobia and religious extremism in other threads go.
You can't have your politically correct cake and eat it.

I bet Dawn French has several politically correct cakes....
