Seasons 1-7 are fantastic

bangel3322

This show is brilliant from seasons 1-7. I think they made a major mistake getting my rid of the Garvey family and Madge. The Dyke family were also brilliant. Some of the original characters that left the show should have stayed til the end. (Like Gavin). The introduction of new people in seasons 8-10 just didn't cut it. The new family who were supposed to be the new Garvey's didn't quite cut it. The characters of Joey and Sammy Valentino hurt the show with cheap laughs and bad acting. And I wished they had brought in more appearances from Joan Collins. Then it just ended abruptly. No proper ending. Not sure if it was cancelled or not. Despite these flaws, it still happens to be one of the best British TV shows I've seen. Very original and full of laughs. I would definitely rewatch it, but only up until season 7.

score 7/10
