IMO Jilted John was his finest hr

Sonia was Brian's gf and was very 'green and eviro, concsious' and tried to be encouraging. I thought Davison looked quite different in it as he had black rimmed glasses and longer brown hair. Although he's done other comedy I don't think he's done much other sitcom and he played it in more of an exaggerated sitcom style than his usual calm low key style. I remember Brian always used to lecture Steve saying something like "I worked hard so I could go to university. But what did you do?". It was sort of a catch phrase. Wouldn't it be a pain having a brother saying that to you all the time!
Fair enough. I've only seen a few episodes. Maybe I should give it more of a go.
I though 'Second Thoughts' was good - if you like that kind of low key middle class stuff. Good cast. Mind you I've only ever seen 1st series on DVD as last time looked that was all available. Never seen Faith in the Future (the spin off). What comes to mind is their dog was called 'Deefa' (i.e. D. for Dog).
Only other Davison sitcoms Ive heard of are Holding The Fort amd Aint Misbehavin
