In one bit I saw, there was a man about to jump off building, Lindsay goes up to talk him out of it, taking a pizza with him. Why take a pizza with him? It wasn't explained. It turns out it was just to set up the punchline of the man slipping on the pizza to fall off the roof. To my mind, that bit failed to 'work'.
Perhaps the rest of it is marvellous, who knows.
No - My Fam does have its problems but I don't really think it deserves the bashing it gets. Sure, it's an old-fashioned BBC middle-class sitcom, but there's obviously still a big market for that sort of thing out there. And it has Robert Lindsay in it. Having said that I don't reckon there'll be another series after the latest commission. Seems Lindsay and Wannamaker have had enough after 147 series and are now just going through the motions. When your main stars are losing interest, I daresay the audience will soon follow.
