This got repeated last night, and watching just now I'm moved to tears. Because it was mace 3 years ago but is perfect right now. It balances some astute social insights with joyous and affirming relationship development and lots of jokes that land without ever punching down, puncturing pretension and blinkered prejudice deftly. But most of all, it makes me long for summer festivals, where the true joy comes from mixing people and music with abandon,and taking home better versions of ourselves as a result. Ben Elton is a truly gifted writer.
score 9/10
