Which starts this week I believe. I'm looking forward to "Living With Two People" written by Mark Watson. 
Edit: Bash is the first one on Monday 5th Feburary, then each one will be shown every Monday for the next 5 weeks.
Mark Watson is a very funny guy.
Looks intriguing, but don't think I'd have spotted it otherwise. Thanks! 
I wish we were related.
Thanks Hotzappa, this would have also past me by with out you.
It’s now marked in my Digiguide so not to miss it
Cheers

Get a sample of his blood, transfuse it into your veins and see what happens. It'll either go really well or we'll have a Frankenstein on the board.
Bump.
Oh, that made me laugh. Everything Rasmus Hardiker seems to do is good. It had a great cast (including Kevin McNally from Pirates Of The Carribean) and i knew most of them. I did think the KKK joke was a bit obvious but still a good pilot. I'd like it to have a full series.
A few amusing moments, but just didn't do it for me, and the girlfriend seemed completely mis-cast. She just didn't look right, so I couldn't believe the character, and as it all seemed to revolve around her, that was a bad start. I'm not really sure where they could go with it either; didn't seem to be any ground-work established, other than for the plot in that one episode.
Still, maybe next week's will improve...
(I don't think I'll ever see Kevin McNally as anything other than Alan in Dad, though.)
I wasn't very impressed with the first one, and thought it covered ground we'd seen a thousand times before. That said, I agree in principle with the idea of pilots, rather than full series. It's cheaper, and you hopefully avoid commissioning full series of pap like Thieves Like Us.
It's where all the greats started. (Although I'm by no means seriously hoping that we'll have another great series springing forth from a modern series of pilots.
Well, i thought "Living With Two People..." was qutie dissapointing. It just didn't flow well and some over the acting was over-acted, especially the guy who seemed like he was trying to be Rick Myall. (sp?)
Damn you Mark Watson for dashing my expectations.
There were some bits which I really enjoyed, but yes, I agree it just didn't flow. Not too bad for a pilot though...
"Living With Two People..." had potential I thought. Not so much the flat scenes, more the call centre office environment. Couple of those bits made me laugh.
The only half decent part were the call centre scenes with the annoying, slightly Gareth style co-worker; I thought the rest was quite poor really. Some of the performances were annoying, and the lead seemed a bit flat. The actors always seemed to be straining to squeeze any laughs out of a fairly laugh lite script. I really think that the script just wasnt there, it just wasnt strong enough and it left me pretty dissapointed.
Bearing in mind I missed the end. But from what I saw it had some very funny jokes, a likeable lead and the co-worker was very good.
But the 'Sit' part annoyed me too much with loose ends. i.e. why is he living with his brother if he has a job? And the female character's personality just seemed to be 'annoying'. I couldn't see anybody liking her independently or otherwise. Unless she redeemed herself at the end?
But overall I quite liked it.
