A not too bad but not over hilarious new ITV sitcom written by and starring the great Ade Edmonson.
Meet Vernon, a once punk rocker now a middle aged Dad. His wife has left him for the European Commissioner of Soft Fruit. Homeless he goes and lives with his two bland kids, Milly and Max. Milly and Max don't want him living with them, but help his Dad out. But sadly for Vernon he finds himself sleeping under the stairs. Also living in the house is Chinese Lodger David. Vernon's drinking partner is Bryan.
The thing I really resent about this sitcom is the fact that Ade Edmonson, a brilliant alternative anarchic comedian who was quite exceptional in 'Bottom' is trying to get a new audience and is now appearing in a safe middle class ITV sitcom. It just isn't Ade. Also, I hate his kids, Milly and Max. It is trying to be like 'My Family' It is the ITV version of 'My Family' But the problem is 'My Family is a lot funnier. It is ironic that the eighth series of 'My Family' began whilst this was in the middle of its first. I watch them both (taped one) and found 'My Family' a lot funnier. Despite these harsh words, the show made me laugh a good few times. But remember Ade smashing up a telly because 'The Good Life' came on in 'The Young Ones' Well 'The Young Ones' has dated while 'The Good Life' hasn't and I know another show that is going to date before 'The Good Life' and that is 'Teenage Kicks' So why did Ade badly mock a popular 'nice' sitcom when he would end up writing and starring in one.
Best Episode: Sorry, Series 1 episode 3.
