Fantastic new comedy
8 September 2008
Warning: Spoilers
I watched the first episode not knowing what to expect - I'd never heard of Dan Clark, nor Sinead Moynihan. I must say I love these actors and Dan Clark writes some truly great comedy. His acting in this show is spot on - in his character Don Danbury, can I see a little bit of Rik Mayall's influence? When watching this show I find I am constantly thinking of Rik from the Young Ones.

Other character portrayals are spot on - Eddie Singh is fantastic, played wonderfully by David Armand, whom I last saw playing Richard in the series 'Pulling'. Karl Menford, played by Finlay Robertson, is great but I think needs a little polish - not sure if Finlay is suited for comedy, although he is starring in a new US comedy called 'The Story of _____' so he's obviously doing something right.

The second and third episodes of this show just get better and better. When he goes camping with Abby's students, we witness Don at his best, for he seems on the same intellectual track as the kids he's minding.

All in all a superb new show which I highly recommend to everyone. Dan Clark's on a money-winner here.
