It was good, but I did find Ricky's constant lambasting of other comedy styles a little tedious and rather supercilious. His point was being hammered home just a tad too heavily.
I freely admit, I am not a fan of Little Britain or Catherine Tate, but an awful lot of people are. (And I'm not saying that the mass is always right, just making a point)
Besides that little annoyance half way through the episode, I thought the rest was touching and entertaining. Ashley Jensen was, as usual, beautifully understated.
I was watching the finale on Christmas day having got it from the states and I can't deny it did depress me somewhat, but if a show can do that and make its audience think, it's a success.
So don't think I'm one of those 'Ricky-haters', I just wasn't fond of his pretentious snobbery (for want of a better term).
