I was expecting to hate this series given that it is not really aimed at me (I am 64). However I find it genuinely witty without being the usual low-level smut that passes for comedy in many programmes and movies aimed at the 15-30 age group these days. The actors deliver their lines and play it at just the right level and it is good to see that there are writers about that can bring something , while not new, to the table that is above the level of the usual dross we are fed with. Anna Chancellor and Angus Deacon work well together as the parents of the pregnant daughter. Sean Verey as Jamie and Scarlett Alice Johnson as Laura make an engaging "couple" of expectant parents ably supported by Yasmin Paige and Dylan Edwards as Jamie's friends. It is refreshing to see "unknowns" (at least to me) making such a good job of comedy which would be easy to make a hash of.
score 8/10
