What's that? Another sitcom written by and starring a stand-up comedian (not necessarily a very successful one)? And based on their real life? Raising lots of important social issues? Can't *wait*!!
Actually, that is a little unfair because this makes some of those other shows, tiresome as they are, look like works of genius. The Bolton accents are good, though - very authentic.
What was the last sitcom that people really loved, as opposed to tolerating or feeling they ought to watch? That really became part of the culture? You could make a case for Miranda, possibly; but I think you have to go back to The Office, 20 years ago. It's a lost art, and the BBC look more unlikely than anyone to revive it.
