All the actors play their parts well but there are some rather irritating plot lines that go through most episodes. Peggy constantly going on about being a yellow coat does grate after a while, especially when she does get the opportunity she is useless and Fred keep talking about getting his jockey licence back! He is too old and too big to be a jockey but no-one bothers to tell him. Running gags can be funny but they need to be realistic, which neither of there are. Spike can also be annoying with his ridiculous speeches which just upset more people and his 'holier than thou' attitude is meant to be a counter to Ted's scams but you just feel like saying 'report it or shut up'!! Simon Cadell and Ruth Madoc are the stars of this sitcom.
