This board is dead... thought I'd start a series 2 opinion thread.

So how do we feel about series 2?

I think Simon's become more confident as an actor, he seems to be enjoying himself this time round.

I love the direction Clive's gone - his slight friendship with Simon, the way he refers to Tanya as "Mum" to Simon, like Simon's still a child, the way he still uses the downstairs toilet as his "office", his outbursts and Simon's unnerved reactions "Clammy Clive!"

I miss Geoffrey Hutchings though - I thought he was a great calming element to the mostly hysterical family.

Also, maybe Liz has gone a bit too wacky? I get that it's the pressure of her split from Barry (a nice edition to the cast), but I preferred the slightly calmer version of last series I think.

Overall I think this series is as good as the first, although I prefer the first one purely because of Grandpa. Not sure I liked seeing Simon in his pants though, that seemed wrong, like his body should be made of clothes buttoned to the neck.
