Entertaining sitcom
17 January 2004 | by (London, England) – See all my reviews

I remember seeing this when I was in my late teens and it is funny and sad at the same time. Great characters including, the sex-obsessed group leader and the equally sex-obsessed, 1970s type medallion-man, Kirk St. Moritz. There is a great episode which reveals Mr St. Moritz as not being all he claims to be. The BBC sold the show to the US who remade it and then sold it back to the BBC! The British version is the best.
