I watched a few episodes of the first series of Saxondale, but wasn't overly impressed. Saxondale is a really good character and I thought that perhaps they would learn from the failings of the first series. But they didn't!
I thought this weeks episode got off to a really good start with the therapy scene, but then the laughs just dried up.
I think Steve Coogan's writing should be kept to a minimum on ALL projects! He's a very good comedy actor and comes up with great characters, but his writing is not sharp enough. Admittedly, a lot of his characters are played with a strong smell of Partridge about them, but not always. I think that Paul Calf and The Curator are completely different to Partridge. So is Saxondale. And he's much better than Tony Ferrino!
