It's just not funny!

This sitcom is one of the first all black sitcoms in Britain a kind of UK equivilent to 'The cosby show'. The acting from Rudolph Walker (Eastenders,the thin Blue line) and Mona Hammond (Eastenders,Babyfather) is great and they're very talented actors - The rest of the cast are down right terrible especially Jo Martin as Natalie Crouch who could easily take on Liz Hurley as the worst British Actress in our generation, But more importantly the jokes just aren't funny! This could easily have been a Family sitcom if it weren't for countless F-WORDS and sexual inuendo which adds nothing to the show expect perhaps moving it to 10.30 at night when most people are in bed

Avoid this sitcom and watch the hilarious 'My Family' instead

6/10
