Radio Times review
Hal Cruttenden is unashamedly middle-class, which makes his humour a perfect match for Radio 4. There's even a telling reference to this in his new sitcom about a stay-at-home dad, where he advises his children that while being middle-class is definitely "the best", they should not tell their school chums because it will make them sound vulgar.
It's tough to make an impact in the first episode of a new sitcom, but I laughed out loud, several times, and the supporting cast, including Ed Byrne and Ronni Ancona, is top-notch.
