Fast paced and edgy without being crude this programme really makes me laugh out loud. Doon Mackichan as hairdressing salon owner and Paul Reynolds as Trevor her errant boyfriend terrific and I love the enigma that surrounds Jane Dowden's character. Most sitcoms labour on but the punchy lines come thick and fast and there's not only slapstick - love Doon's character shaving Trevor's head - but better still the writer has made you really care and feel for the characters. The rest of the cast were good too I particularly like Lucinda Dryzek, she seems to have brilliant comedy timing and I really liked the way O T Fagbenle switches between street talk and normal Estuary depending on who he is talking to. Why is it hidden on BBC4?
