My favourite comedy show on radio and until now, TV, was back for a third series on TV last night. After the first two series were probably even better than the radio version (I know many will disagree with that), I was greatly looking forward to it, but it somehow managed to miss the mark, - hard to say why, perhaps the gratingly unfunny Irish (I think) woman photographer contributed, or the need to go PC with a married lesbian couple helped, but it was the dialogue that just didn't seem as slick as in the earlier episodes, - I assumed while watching that perhaps Graham Linehan was not part of this series' writing team, but I was wrong (maybe it's the other way around, and Linehan has contributed too much in this episode, at the expense Steve Delaney's usual input?) . Anyway, far too early really to write it off, - let's hope it will improve. My 9 out of 10 rating is taking the first 2 series into account (may have been a 10 without the latest one).
score 9/10
