Off The Telly Review

It's been almost two decades since its debut, and there's the legacy of one too many re-runs on UK Gold, but still that very particular, potent appeal of Just Good Friends hasn't weathered or grown stale. Even Paul Nicholas' salty rendering of John Sullivan's self-penned title theme, garnished with textbook Ronnie Hazelhurst noodling, remains at the end of the day essentially harmless and even, well, likable. Watching the series again, and especially this famous final episode, is a thoroughly agreeable experience.
