Press

To be honest, this has been a rather uneven fifth series of the Croydon flat-mate sitcom. At its best - in the second and fifth episodes - it's been bang on form and hilarious, but it's often been middling, verging on average. There's been the odd great line here and there, but nothing to write home about.

At the end of it all, you're left wondering if a fifth series was really for the best. Perhaps nipping things in the bud at the end of the fourth season - when things had reached a suitable moment to exit - would have been for the best. Ten out of ten for effort, though.

Paul Strange, DigiGuide, 6th June 2008

It is the texture of the writing that excels. Has anyone rendered the thought-processes of neurotic perpetual-adolescent males with more hilarious precision?
