Someone was telling me about this last night so I'll be giving it a try.
Starts 11.05 tonight on Channel 4. A new 6 part comedy drama.
Yes I know it has been plugged on the front page:

I'll be interested to hear what people think of it.

I'm still wearing my big sisters pyjamas...Now.
I saw a clip today and it looked very funny (you are supposed to find it funny). 
Not being patronising but it must be very brave. And I feel we should watch it to change our perceptions if nothing else.
Do we not already have a thread on this?
I feel I should give it a go, but if I am honest I am not entirely looking forward to it.
Yes there is a thread already.
But it's got less posts than this one

Oops - my apologies!
I did a search for Cast Offs but missed Cast-Offs - damned hyphen tricked me again!
And Scotti get some proper pyjamas!

Slow, plodding, tedious nonsense. Save maybe two individual lines before the first ad break, entirely devoid of humour. If it were half an hour an episode I might be tempted to go back, but that was far too dull and unengaging. I'm surprised I managed to get to the end of this one.
It wasn't that good was it. A bit voyeuristic.
It was more like just a reality show - like the about the disabled people doing the endurance trecks. And really not at all funny.
Not comedy at all. Should have just been classed as drama.
The trailer made it seem quite funny.

Yep, yep, yep.
I've only had a chance to see the first half so far, but I'm enjoying this.
I agree it's more drama than comedy but there are some nice light touches, it's different, and I want to see where it's going.
I hope I'm not the only one!
