A truly genuine programme on the joys of new parenthood. There we were - my husband and i, watching "Blessed" on a Friday night, laughing saying "we're not the only ones!" Thought the smug neighbours were spot on and Mel Giedroycis brilliant as a new harassed mother. Ben Elton has captured the highs and lows of family life in half hour slot beautifully. Gary and Sue - the two new parents - had me nodding my head in relation to each story line. The frantic loss of "sheepie" (sons favourite toy) - the disappearance of dummies ("where do they go?" Sue asks in bewilderment and anger - my point exactly) Ardal O'Hanlon captures the distress of a new father who does his best not to drown in nappies, cynicism and baby colds.
