Did anyone catch this just now? Mitchell and Webb have reunited following the conclusion of Peep Show for a new series following a family whose father has passed away that is reunited with one of their many previous foster children.

 

I probably haven't explained that very well but I very much enjoyed the first episode, some great one-liners and a couple of familiar faces from the UK comedy (and drama) scene appearing.

Ooh I didn't know this had started! I saw the trailer and though it didn't look the MOST promising premise, I absolutely love Mitchell & Webb so I'll give it a go.

The highlight is the uncle/geriatric character!

I laughed so hard at this week's episode. Really great comic timing, as ever. I'm not enjoying the flashbacks much though, this week's in particular was rather grim.

I want to like it more than I actually do. The flashbacks don't do it for me either.

 

I feel like I'd rather see a bit less of Mitchell & Webb (even though they're the reason I tuned in the first place) and and lot more of the Uncle (especially), and the other characters. The barmaid makes me laugh when she smiles and says ''Aww''.

So, it ended last night.

I thought the guy playing Archie looked quite a bit like (a younger version of) the actor who plays the late father.

 

It wasn't great though. Watchable, but no laugh out loud moments for me.
