Here we have a spin-off to a very popular show which makes this very hard to become popular. Reason being everyone will expect it to live up to OFAH. However in my eyes it does because of a few reasons firstly being that it is a completely different style with old characters and yet still works. Secondly it's funny and yet at the same ti doesn't just base around Boycie and Marlene it seems that the farm workers have become the extra's and funny extras make anything that much better. Lastly and most importantly every episode has a different storyline and is always funny plus it is stand alone it barely even makes references to OFAH. The only way it seems to be connected is with character names. This in my opinion is a stand alone funny sitcom which gives you a smile on the odd occasion it does mention an OFAH person. Absolutely great look forward to it every single week.

This show is not the funniest British comedy but it is certainly not one of the worst around. I actually laughed and look forward to it. The cast is good, the plot and setting make it interesting, and the characters need time to get developed but the actors who play them are quite worth watching. I like the husband and wife and son. The fact that Gareth Gwenlan who also produced Waiting For God produces this show gives me faith that it will get better. I don't know who Sullivan is. Yes, Only Fools and Horses, was a classic British comedy but it doesn't just happen. A good comedy takes time and work to nourish it along the way. It's not perfect but it's not rubbish neither, it's worth watching and there are few good new British comedies that are around to enjoy and this one is a favorite of mine. I wish British comedies did have the season of American shows. A season in American can range from 14 on the cable stations to 26 on the networks. There are some shows who have less episodes than others but that's a whole other story of politics and money. I wish BBC and other British stations would nurture British comedies in the same manner that they nurture reality television shows which are just awful.

I loved this series and am patiently waiting for it to start again 'in the new year' but they failed to mention 'which' new year ... can anyone help? ... it was so comical as I am a city girl who moved to the country and I just couldn't help laughing at the things that happened to them, as similar things happened to me, Please, please, please bring this back as I am in need of a good innocent sit com, that makes me laugh so much. I loved the idea of using actors that were not known to t.v watching audiences and was amazed how believable there characters were, it only proved how talented these actors are. I know this is a spin off from O,F&H, but I really do believe that it is capable of standing on its own, in its own right as the characters are totally different and stand out on their own away from O,F&H after all people from the country have their own ways and traditions, and after all it is a great comedy.

I am also a OF&H fan.I was worried than show spin offs like this won't work. Like the Friends spin off Joey...which honestly made feel sleepy. After watching the first episode I am eagerly waiting for the next one, where we will meet rest of the new characters. The characters of Boycie and Marlene work great together so it would make an interesting show based around their family life. The show is set in the present as their son is now teenager and will be interesting how his character develops. They moved to Shropshire out in the sticks and it would be interesting if they evolve or still have the London banter going on. But,John Sullivan has made a good first humorous episode and long it may continue be that way.
