Have just been reminded to buy this - Episode 1 ... where he just breaks down crying over the credits was fantastic, as was "lawfully wedded straight-man". Really enjoyed sadness/farce balance.
I've seen the whole first series - rented the DVD but keep forgetting to buy them both on DVD. Enjoyable commentaries tinged with regret as well.
Buy both together, save £4: http://www.replaydvd.co.uk/

Just watched the first few episodes of this; pretty darn brilliant so far. If obviously a bit horribly nineties at times. Good lord, the clothes and sets!
My view exactly! Awesome!

The size of the mobile phones! This show is brilliant. I was it in awe of Stephen Moffet's writing ability. The way he structures an episode is fantastic. I do prefer Coupling though. 
You can see much of the Coupling style coming through in an embryonic state in this show.
He created the style for Joking apart and then perfected it in Coupling.
i've never seen it but if it is as good as Coupling it must be good
It's better, in my opinion.

I think I'll have to get the DVD.
Why do they always repeat the same things over & over.
This could easily be shown & appreciated again.

I do. But only on certain days.

I thought I did, turned out I was thinking about Jake How.

I miss that crazy borderline autistic bastard.
With the news that Moffat is returning to comedy with Douglas Is Cancelled, I'm rewatching Joking Apart. I love it to bits, perfect farce. I also wonder why Paul Raffield didn't go on to more comedy, he and Tracie Bennett are easily the funniest performances.
Oddly enough I never really clicked with Coupling, I need to give that a rewatch.
