I wouldn't say it's gentle, as such. There's just about enough edge for it be worthwhile. It must have a bit of edge, I mean, it's on at half past nine.
Don't forget, this starts tonight. An actual new British Comedy. Cor!
Well not quite new.
Quite a good one. Good to see the lovely Cherie - and also Jeremy Clyde who people of my age (old guys) will know was a 1960s pop star.
Hahahahaha, that was hillarious tonight, a cut above My Family, the ending was really funny. Definitely a sharp and witty comedy with some good slapstick/physical comedy too, it's hit its stride I think, seems familiar but also fresh.
Weird how Vincent Ebrahim from the Kumars played a barman in 'After You've Gone' with Nicholas Lyndhurst, and is now playing another barman in this - with Roger Lloyd Pack. It's almost the same character, but I think he's a very likeable actor, and it's good when he turns up in things.
He is usually very funny and his sarcasm is good. I did notice the overlap but I also enjoyed After You've Gone for what it was. It's a pity they didn't do another series and shake things up a little with that one.
Decent opener I thought tonight, I enjoyed it, great to have it back again. Needs to improve, but a decent opener to the second series all the same.
