Just watched the whole second series of this trying to work out what all the fanfare is about.
It's just the usual Emperor's New Clothes.
Same old actors we see everywhere else, hamming it up, same safe cosy production, same character stereotypes, predictable storylines, lazy writing and cliches.
How wonderful it must be to be a famous comedienne and have your every offering treated like gold. And Saunders attributes the show's eventual cancellation to "some **** in a meeting". Yeh, you keep telling yourself that.
It has its moments - very occasionally - but on the whole it's not funny, and not interesting.
Now I understand why I found it in a charity shop for 20p.
