The Norwegian comment comes from someone who is probably very young. My wife and I - probably much older than the target audience for the show - remember this show with great affection - it was funny, inventive, interestingly directed, and genuinely charming. My wife in particular enjoyed it - "That's what girls are REALLY like!" she would say at some point every time we watched an episode.
All the leads were good - its surprising perhaps none of them has ever 'made-it' elsewhere - but then their performances were so naturalistic (even within the context of a wildly fantastic plot) that maybe they were playing themselves!
Anyone who liked this would have enjoyed CAVEGIRL as well, another unrecognised classic of British television. Danny Peacock is a genuine innovator - its always worth watching his material.
Stuff like this is presented as being for a young audience - but is actually much MUCH better than a lot of the comedy that is made for and presented as 'adult' material. It was always surprising, always amusing. Qualities that are distinctly lacking in the typical British - or American - sitcom.
