Press
The sitcom following retired performer Strong reaches the end of its third season. If the guest appearance of John Shuttleworth didn't confirm it, gentle 90s comedy continues to rule. Tonight it's Michael's birthday, an event that, after childhood disappointment, he prefers to manage himself. He reckons without Arthur's box of expiring vouchers. Soon, a mystery excursion is, with occasionally humorous consequences, under way.

There is no news on a fourth series yet, but it seems safe to say the Count will return.
