Watched it last night... It was badly written...
I never laughed once. The jokes were poor attempts at innuendo. It's just so badly written. The sets and characterisation was actually pretty well done, but the script was awful. I pity the actors who had to work with this lousy script. The BBC are a joke now. They won't show the original show because it isn't PC enough, and yet they show this rubbish with offensive crude humour. The writer must be a complete moron, if this was the best he/she could turn out. I suspect a new graduate might be responsible for this muck. As a writer myself, I would be ashamed to put my name to rubbish like this and if I wrote rubbish like this I would tear it up and start again. If I still couldn't write something better at that point, I'd go down the Jobcentre and look for another job! The original show was never rude, crude, or refered to things like semen. BBC you suck, best you stick to what you know now shows about old grannies buying modern junk guising as antiques and dodgy builders flipping houses, because you can no longer do comedy! Seriously though, I could have knocked up a much better script than this effort in an afternoon. There seemed to be very little research of the original show, which still makes me laugh! Worst characters were the token black guy, and the Cockney Young Mr. Grace. Who thought that would work?
