Ohhhhhhhh yes! It's quality. I'm surprised you get it via the BBC, it was on Channel 4 when it was aired over here. I'm desperately waiting for the second series, following the, urm, cliff hanger in the first.
It really shouldn't be funny...

Speaking of Sarah Alexander (Angela on 'Green Wing'), has anyone watched 'Coupling'. Not as good without Jeff, IMO.

I really liked the original Coupling too. It was very funny. I think it took a hit with the cast change as well. There's something about the english accent that makes fast banter even funnier to me.
- Guy smoking and never wearing a face mask during operations is priceless.

Brew...we haven't gotten to the season cliff hanger so don't spoil it!

I must admit that I am also somewhat addicted to Cash In The Attic and House Doctor. I must be getting old.
