“Iu0026#39;ve been hearing about this TeeVee series for years and finally watched an episode.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIts probably not a fair assessment because the gimmick depends on accretive jokes. But I was fairly impressed.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe reason is that the basis for the story and many of the jokes depends on a literary awareness. Its a bit of a pleasure. No, the jokes werenu0026#39;t any better in formation than what you usually see. But thereu0026#39;s something deep and lasting in literate humor, even silly puns. I wonder why this is so rare, even in films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is superimposed on relationship situations. Most sitcoms are, but because this is intelligently British, its not based on friends and lovers, but on class. Even for this non- Brit, that element goes deeper.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf I were going to mess with TeeVee shows, this would be near the top of the list.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eTedu0026#39;s Evaluation — 3 of 3: Worth watching.”
