So how about that bold claim that GameFace is 2017's best new homegrown sitcom? Well, its only serious rivals have been Mitchell and Webb's Back, parenting satire Motherland and rural mockumentary This Country. GameFace arguably out-laughed and out-charmed them all. It even ended on a sweetly optimistic note. Let's hope the second series doesn't take another three years.

Pauline McLynn: They auditioned everyone before me

"They saw everyone in the country for Mrs Doyle before me. When they did eventually get round to me I was grey to the gills because I'd had a bad chicken sandwich the night before and I was afraid I'd hurl over someone at my audition. But maybe that's what got me the part."
