Oh, how I would love this show to be released on video so I could show it to my children. It was the most pretentious, middle-class and unfunny series I can remember and no words from me could ever do it justice. It was like watching a train wreck each week - you didn't want to watch but couldn't drag your eyes away. I like some films Emma Thompson has been in since then, but to think that she had monumental arrogance then to think that she could write comedy, sing and dance and carry a series on her own - it just beggars belief. I URGE you to see it if you get a chance and defy you not to sit for each half hour with your mouth wide open in disbelief and your cheeks red with embarrassment.
