[edit] Analysis section

I don't think it's appropriate for this article to feature analysis, as this is against Wikipedia's Original Research policy. 89.242.172.88 (talk) 01:07, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] no episodes

TV.com has for some reason removed its Episode guide. Anyone have a list of episodes saved? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.50.124.34 (talk) 08:58, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I missed one or two episodes so I'm not sure that my information is 100% correct in all cases (though I have endeavoured to make it so). I would be grateful if anyone could point out (or make) any corrections or additions.

[edit] Nice quote

The writer appeared on BBC Breakfast (alongside Polly Toynbee on October 26, 2005.

Natasha Kaplinsky - do you feel your show has influenced the debate (on smoking bans) in any way?

Brian Dooley (writer) - no probably not, it gets such small viewing figures!

Kaplinsky - don't say that!

[edit] Trivia

Is it really worthwhile saying the show has no laughter track? It's not the only sitcom which doesn't. 82.19.30.111 23:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

No, not really. And it's also not worth repeating that the smoking ban would kill the program if it hadn't already ended, especially not in a sentence almost entirely lacking capital letters. I'll wipe both parts and if anyone's pissy enough they can probably revert it in three minutes.88.66.11.231 20:49, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
