Just couldn't get on with it at all.
Used to like it, but just the thought that the smug faced, self glorifying Ben Elton had a hand in writing it puts me off.

Depends if you prefer wit or slapstick really. If slapstick and gentle humour's your thing, forget it and give the box set to someone who'll appreciate it.
