Just when you thought things couldn't get any more lame, shows like this died in three 90's. Dated comedy is so hard to watch when the writer is following the same type of dialogue from his previous work.
He has paid lip service when doing his reserch. Theres a reference to somebody sitting at home listening to the Police on his scanner when the TETRA network was introduced some years ago!
Why he thought that referencing Jimmy Saville might be classed as humour is offensive given the historic sexual abuse, likewise naming one of the characters after Peter Jaconelli, the Mayor of Scarborough who would have faced similar charges had he still been alive. If the writer thinks these are topics for a comedy series then what does it say about his intellect or morality.
The characters have an infinite droll of one liners that are sad, it wouldn't be out of place to expect Del boy to pop out from behind the sofa at any minute.
Part of the show is set around a hair salon that looks like it came straight out of Heartbeat, an intentional oddity no doubt?
The only thing this antiquated show has going for it are the songs from the 60's and 80's.
