For those like me who remember the much underrated Mike Leigh classic Nuts In May. Then Julia Davis Camping brings it back to life kicking and screaming into the 21st century. The plot is simple three middle age couples meet up to celebrate a 50th birthday by going on a camping trip. Whilst they may be friends each couple has in one way or another reached mid life crisis. One recently divorced brings along a younger sex mad girlfriend. The other two miserably unhappy with there dull lives, one a recovering alcoholic the other a neurotic mother who is convinced by listening to the right music and eating the right food will prevent her son from being gay! Add to the mix a randy pubescent teenager a creepy landowner who looks after his dieng mother while serving sausages and you have the mad black comedic genius that is Julia Davis. A classic

This series is a little gem and I'm so glad I stumbled upon it on NowTV. If you judge the series by Episode 1 alone, you're probably missing one of the best comedy series of 2016. The first episode simply introduces the characters and places them into context in the story-line. Keep watching past the first episode and the characters and story-line develop into something deliciously funny and very watchable. Yes, some of the characters and antics are cringe-worthy, but remember this is all part of the comedy. I ended up watching all six episodes back to back, culminating in an absolutely brilliant final episode. If you get the chance to watch it - then do. It's very good.

This would get ten stars as a tragedy or a horror film but it's an odd choice for a comedy. The actors are fantastic, I was initially intrigued with so many well drawn characters but I wasn't looking for such a deeply bleak and upsetting nightmare. Getting to the end of episode 5 has been a sick endurance test. And it ends very badly apparently. Whoopee! Why would anyone want to see children genuinely distressed? Who gets pleasure from 'cringe, cringe, that guy's letting children cope with Mum's coma on their own. HAHAHA!'? Which is not credible anyway, as mid life crisis man is just idiotic rather than monstrously neglectful. Maybe it's for people who don't find real life horrifying enough. Or if you need reminding of childhood traumas or recent divorces

I am so grateful that I "get" the humour in this show. I would be so gutted if I missed the point. Genius characters, cringe-worthy plots. What's not to love?!We all known an anally retentive bossy person in our every day lives. Imagine then that you had left this person in charge of your holiday? Lists, Kitty's, spreadsheets, itineraries and emails!Whilst on said holiday, you will be joined by a recovering alcoholic and his mousy partner - together with his son who is full of hormones (no explanation necessary!) Add into the mix one half of a couple that you are friends with turning up with his new girlfriend and proceeds to fawn all over her embarrassingly! I think the observations were spot on. Especially Vicky Pepperdine's Character. I thought she was brilliant.A must see for fans of Nighty Night.Personally, I loved it.
