Got this because we really liked Doc Martin (Martin Clunes) but this was not our cup of tea with the British humor. Be sure to leave your review if you enjoyed this!

Martin Clunes debuted in the Classic Doctor Who episode "Snakedance" (now being quite famous for the Doc Martin character.) Wasn't too long afterwards he starred in this series. Definitely worth watching. A lot of good laughs in here. Has been on the keeper shelf for years. Mostly just dumb stuff bachelors do. The horrific saxophone intro will be stuck in your head for decades to come.

The Weakest Series

"Harry Enfield doesn't really click in this. ITV made the right choice in essentially rebooting the show with Neil Morrissey. It's still pretty funny though but really you are better off starting with series 2."
Funny, off beat British humor

"I like Martin Clunes so ordered this to see him in his younger days before "William and Mary" and "Doc Martin".
It is funny offbeat British humor and worth watching for a laugh. I probably will only watch it this one time then donate the season to the library."
Pretty Good

"considering I tend to like the british comedies from the 70s and 80s more than anything else --- this comedy is rather good. it takes place in the 90s and brings a different sense of british comedy to the screen --- a bit more in tune with the times. I would recommend this to anyone who enjoys british humor."
Anohter Overlooked Gem of a Series

"If you like British humour you really need to give this one a go. It is about a couple of guys sharing a flat and being guys. In other words drinking too much, trying ineptly to get off with women, talking bullocks and generally never growing up. Oh yes it is also about the relationship between Gary and Dorothy who stay together because....well it's hard to say really. I'm a big fan of Python, Black Adder, Red Dwarf and Bottom. If you're like me (deranged) then you'll probably love this series."
