    This is - again - some damn serious comedy!
    Such clever writing, subtle, witty, deep, tragic -
    and such acting!
    How do they do it, these British comedians!
    Simply on another level!
    (Whitehouse in The Fast Show, Coogan in Saxondale, Brydon in Marrion and Geoff, and Jack Dee here - even the supporting actor in the gym scene - marvelous!)

      I agree . I'm afraid it's way too clever for the mainstream - snobbery intended. The best comedy is understated and best served with some pathos.

      How about Ricky Gervais in the Office. Jack Dee is a master of dead pan.

    This show is great. Somehow we managed to laugh without a track telling us when it's funny.

    This is such a well written, cleverly conceived sitcom. It's full of subtle passive aggression, aggressive passivity, aggressive aggression, passive passivity, all stations in between, all of it hilarious.
    And it stays true to the universal, British concept of a sitcom, where all characters are flawed, but the main character is just absolutely awful.
    Rick Spleen fits into the category that Basil Fawlty, Alf Garnett, Victor Meldrew, David Brent are in.
    All hilariously funny, all absolutely intolerable if you had to live or work with them.

    Sean Power is an absolute star, the way he delivers his lines is epic! The whole cast is brilliant, except for Jack Dee. What were they thinking when they cast this?

      The show is brilliant because Jack Dee wrote it. His is the central performance.
