It doesn't surprise me to see the generally negative reviews, sadly it wasn't the joy fest that many had hoped for. When you look at the cast, Steadman, Cleese, Scanlon etc. it should have been so much better. I found it watchable, typical Sunday tea time viewing, similar to Still Open all hours and Last of the Summer Wine in its latter years. The kind of show you don't mind washing the dishes to, before the real Sunday Night viewing starts. The ideas for the show were really good, the scripts however weren't up to much. I will praise Cleese for his presence, and I always find Steadman very watchable, but the only real highlight was the comedy that Jason Watkins brought, although he was done a disservice by the scripts.The humour seemed dated, but dated in a 90's ITV kind of sitcom way, as opposed to classic 80's BBC. There is something good lurking here, good actors, good ideas, but if it returns, we need some new writers on board please.Mediocre, 5/10

There are only 6 episodes? I knew it was too good to last. Each episode contains many good laughs. The dialogue is great, cast is wonderful and storyline is easy to relate to. Some great camera work there to as well as shots of our beloved Thames somewhere around Twickenham and Richmond. I have enjoyed every single one of the episodes and was looking forward to many more. Also, it has this gentle quality to it one feels rejuvenated afterwards. Thank you creators.

A totally unfunny 30 minutes, despite a top notch cast. Hold the second series!

Absolute DROSS Showing how pathetic ''comedy'' writing has become in the UK! How the hell comedy legends can pimp themselves for this UNFUNNY DROSS is beyond me SCRAP the FAR LEFT TV TAX
