I'm inclined to agree with the comment below - although was a litytle surprised to see so many H's against this review. Film, TV and music are probably the hardes categories to get right here on Ciao - which is why personally, I tend to leave them alone! Richard.

Hiya, thought it might help to let you know why you've got mostly H instead of VH. Well personally, I think it's because although you've done a great job of relating all the technical details to us - you've not really given us your opinion. Might I suggest you add a paragraph somewhere telling us all about why you enjoy this, how you feel about the characters and storylines etc? If you decide to then please do sign my guestbook and I'll re-rate you. Best wishes, Elle x.

Advantages: Very strong cast, excellent writing, well-directed and incredibly funny. Disadvantages: a bit too much like Graham Linehan's earlier stuff, formulaic.
