Apart from being horrified at how old they all are, as above, I enjoyed it. Danny John-Jules is aging well I have to say.

For the first time I appreciated it as simply a sit-com. It ticked along nicely, the characters fell into their old roles and the storyline was quite predictable. Damning it with faint praise, but usually a sitcom has to be quite exceptional (imo) for me to bother to series-link it. Not so in this case. I expect to watch every episode and almost definitely laugh at it. It's not The League of Gentlemen, but neither is it Keeping Up Appearances.

It might even get a new audience who don't know the back-story, simply because it's still slightly different to other sitcoms. I'll have to run it past my nephew.
