I PRAY BBC America keeps this in reruns

This show is hilarious. I never found british comedy to be too funny, besides Mr. Bean which I love. I found this show, after we changed cable systems and started to get BBC America. I think a lot of the stuff on the network is great, but this is definitely my favorite show. The two male leads have the best chemistry, and every minute is a laugh. I hope I get a chance to see all the episodes of this one!
