The first series seemed to go under the radar. I believe it was originally broadcast on BBC3 so that may be the reason. Easily one of the funniest comedies of recent years. Excellently written, as with most comedies it does have it's loose plots and far fetched story lines, but it is, by and large; very much worth watching again and again. It's got to be a decent comedy for me to watch more than once and some of the episodes are a laugh a second. I implore everyone to watch out for the episode in the second series with the rogue plumber. It seems to get funnier every time I watch it. The only one I missed from series two but ultimately caught up on; was the episode about flying lessons and the clocks going back/forward (part of that was the joke) which was as funny, if not funnier than the plumber episode and I thought that would be impossible to achieve. The great rumble between the Street Urchins and the Count's gang is equally hilarious. There are plenty of laughs throughout the series. The cold caller called Eddie is another one which truly is a masterclass and has me wanting to do the same when a cold caller calls me! Can't wait for the third series!
