As is my wont, I harshly criticised a show without giving it a proper chance. I actually got into this show through watching the blooper vidoes on YouTube. Saw the first five series were going cheap on Amazon so took a punt and I'm glad I did; it's a very good show.
Not totally sold on everything - the implication that Michael is semi-retarded (held back at school etc) is a bit much, but it's well written and performed, and crucially very funny at times.
I've got up to series seven, and I'm told that the last two series were pretty weak - especially series eight - which is a shame.
I take back my earlier criticism. Maybe next time I slate a show I'll actually watch more than five minutes of it before making any judgement...
