I dont like the idea of being beaten to it by you

The battles are won and lost before they ever fought mate...

Worth watching for the "have you got any toilet paper?" gag alone. Maybe I have a puerile sense of humour but that generated a good belly laugh.

Well, after all these comments I thought I'd find out for myself so I fired up iPlayer and checked it out.

Certainly this program was nothing like Fools and Horses but being forewarned of this I wasn't expecting too many laughs. However there was a sense of awkwardness about the whole execution to me as it couldn't make up its mind if it was a comedy or a social commentry and struggled to be either in stark contrast to the way in which Fools and Horses so often effortlessly blended comedy and pathos.

Nick Lyndhurst wasn't convincing playing a womanising villain who always gets what he wants but the performance of his opposite number (Del and Rodney's Mum) was engaging as her story unfolded along the familiar line of tired marriage leads to encounter leads to consequences.

Best line for me:
Minge? MINGE? I'M LOOKING FOR A MINGE.

And that wasn't really that funny.
