older and funnier

I loved the series.Yes the group is several years older and yes some of the lines seem strained but the magnitude of the actors and actress'personalities make them work.Mr.Lucas would have been perfect in this setting,i can just imagine some of the one liners he would have used.He is missed in this series.I enjoyed the addition of the molturds.I had to watch the series through one time before i really began to understand the change of venue and the interactions of the new cast additions.My favorite episode is when Mr.Rumbold is wandering around the house after the electricity is knocked out by a storm and is scaring everyone simply by his sillouette accented by candle light.
