OK, so it got panned by the critics. That's no reason to have the big hate campaign against it. I absoloutly loved this series, and thing that it was a stand out piece of British comedy history. The 2 main characters were great, with Ricky Grover totally making every scene his own. The supporting characters were also great, Tim the barmans war storys had me in stitches. I recently bought the DVD and the commentary is fantastic, Johnny Vaughan doing what he does best, just talking away! If people had given this a chance instead of listening to the 'experts', the 2nd series Johnny mentions on the DVD might have been made.
