After series one, what I thought was a rather poor excuse for a sitcom, I reluctantly decided to try again this year. The improvement was enormous! The jokes was laugh-out-loud-worthy; I especially enjoyed the cheese ones and although some of the characters were lacking in depth, in my opinion, it had very witty, and at the end, very emotional script-writing, albeit in metaphors and innuendos, which could have been replaced with straight-forward dialogue, but at times throughout, they did bring very humorous moments to the episode. The canned laughter is always slightly off-putting when something isn't actually funny and I did get a wee bit tired of listening to one character say: 'I don't get it...' too many times. However, saying all that, if you have a spare 20-odd minutes on your hands, give it a watch. I always say, to make sure something is actually funny (and you're not just laughing for the sake of it), assume it's going to be genuinely un-funny, and if you do laugh it will come as a nice surprise and you will realise it is really worthy of laughter; and this episode made me laugh, a lot. Looking forward to next week's!
