As for Chewin' The Fat itself? I believe the wisest move would be to call it a day. This third series was thoroughly enjoyable but it did seem slightly bereft of new ideas, relying too heavily on old favourites trotting out familiar catch phrases. It would be far better to bow out on a high note and concentrate on something new.

To be fair, while I did have some misgivings, this was the first episode, and so some of the new sketches will surely settle in through the course of the run. I will certainly look at this review again when the series has ended to see if my concerns were unfounded or not. I for one believe that Chewin' the Fat still has a lot to offer. I just wonder what the English think of it ...
