Little seen on release, not repeated as far as I know on the BBC, only DVD released years later. There have been a few shows like that but this one was special and stands on repeated viewings for it's wit, charm and acting. With the early death of Charlotte Coleman, two years after the second series - which was then the last that tragic loss made no difference there - there is an element of sadness when watching it of course, not that this takes anything away from just how sublime this show was.
The series drew a vivid, funny picture of the Yardley family, mad brother, scary dad, sweet daughters, along with various other characters of the small town community. Dylan Moran was superb too as the fish out of water.
This all sounds familiar but this comedy just did it so much better. Which is why it still stands up today and deserves more attention that it got at the time.
