Surely these low figures have something to do with ratings juggernaut I'm A Celebrity being on at the same time?
You'd have thought some of the reality show addicts would be missing LTS and then catching it up with it, yes. Apparently, the iPlayer ratings for LTS are good. And that's the biggest drawback of iPlayer for any TV channel, the fact that they can severly dent a show's normal viewing figures. Still, I believe LTS started with 2m so it's still bad news for them.
I think the majority of reviewers are being too harsh on it and expecting way too much. You take away the similarity thing and it's a very funny sitcom. It just isn't perfect this time, and people are now expecting that of them. Is that really fair? We don't expect perfection from lesser sitcom writers.
