The Other One (1977–1979)
1/10
An absolute WASTE OF TIME
10 November 2014
Warning: Spoilers
Imagine you're at your 10 year old's school play. Tripping over the sets and stumbling through the lines, the only laughter at the 'jokes' coming from the parents of the child delivering the line. This isn't QUITE that good. Throughout you can see the same mannerisms in Good Life that we loved fall flat and elicit no response...even from a captured live audience. Perhaps a live audience was part of the problem because a comedy actor needs feedback in the right places so canned laughter at the right location might be better than scant laughter from real people. I digress however.....the main problem with this 'comedy' is it's TIRED.....nothing fresh...no quirky character...sad sets...tired jokes....TERRIBLE acting by the 2 main characters who clearly didn't enjoy or relate to each other. NEVER have I seen a less inspired piece of acting and the flavourless watered-down music is perfectly fitted to this pointless and dreary comedy. Don't waste ANY time watching this.....in fact the only 'CURIOSITY' is how on earth it survived to a second series
