I was directed to all 14 episodes of this on a well-known video hosting site by an article in The Grauniad (sic), and as it seems to be a fondly remembered, I watched three episodes.
I am not going to give it a full-blown review as I expect it would turn into a rant about why I don't enjoy "Only Fools and Horses" (written by the same person who wrote "Dear John").
Suffice to say it is an ensemble piece that revolves around the excellent Ralph Bates, who has the same sort of shy, nerdy charm that John Alderton displayed in "Please Sir".
It won't take you long to twig the main traits of the other characters; they are all a bit one dimensional but I gather that their back-stories fill out a bit in later episodes.
Did I laugh? Yes. I laughed out loud about twice per episode, and smiled a lot. Whatever reservations I have about John Sullivan's characters, he could pen a funny line.
