An excellent comedy series set in a Britain unfamiliar to most, but perversely accurate in it's depiction of the more psychotic side of the United Kingdom. Catchphrase-heavy in places ('I'm-the-only-gay-in-this-village'; 'Ee-yeeeessss'; 'Yeahaknow' etc, etc) the series focuses on the small minded and surreal aspects of our very insular culture, making fun of perceived British neuroses and prejudices. This first series leads you in nicely to a comedy that mixes the dark grotesqueness of 'The League of Gentlemen' and the sillier humour of Vic-and-Bob style slapstick. Destined for greatness, it's arguably a seminal piece of TV comedy.
