It's ok. Some episodes can be laugh out loud funny and extremely entertaining. Others not so much. Nothing groundbreaking but very watchable, feel-good entertainment and good option for cosy nights in. Wasn't keen when Tim Vine writing but the later series can be genuinely hilarious in places. On the negative side, I find Lee Mack annoying generally so that's a minus. Also fed up with the "man baby who has much more attractive and long suffering wife" comedy trope, that's been done to the death. Also feel there's a lot of lazy stereotypes about Northerners and the characters are totally 1d. Don't expect any character growth/development. But it generally works. Inspite of its faults, I find myself coming back to it when want something on that's feel-good and easy going. Hugh Dennis is definitely a highlight and fabulous as always, as is the woman who plays his wife.

Beautiful and groundbreaking film. For all those saying she should have got her son back at the end - they are missing the ENTIRE point. The point was that they had to sacrifice everything without any thought of their personal circumstances, which eventually achieved that outcome. As indeed people have had to do throughout history to accomplish any positive outcome for humanity. What I loved most about the film - although there was much to love (costumes, cinematography, writing etc) - was the ingenious way it made that point. It portrayed a character study and got you to be personally attached to the women as individuals. It routed them as real people living in a grim but real reality. That way their political actions seemed almost illogical. As the ending of the film came, I found even myself questionning why Maud had been so committed to the cause and that it would have been more pragmatic for her to just stick with her husband and kids. Had it not been for the end credits it would have just been a beautiful yet haunting film. When the screen went black and the subtitles came on at the end, to me - this was a genius stroke of film making. It showed immediately why Maud was right to do what she did. Given that this is all based on facts and the subtitles were facts - it made me bawl like a baby. The film illustrates that humanity's struggle is bigger than any one person and what true heroism looks like. Hopefully it will inspire subsequent generations.

I found this hilarious and unlike the other posters laugh out loud funny - some of his funniest yet. However, the sadness in his personal life infused the whole thing with a kind of sadness. He looked a LOT older and sadder. As he admits, his personal troubles are his own fault but I couldn't help but feel sorry for him which kind of ruined my enjoyment of it slightly. Still, his comedy is as smart and likeable as ever and IMHO maybe even funnier. 4.5/5
