It was a good comedy, all the characters were well written.

Written by the late great John Sullivan, who also wrote a little sitcom called Only Fools and Horses.

It was a hilarious show. Surprised we don't see more of the actor these days.

He was in a pretty famous sitcom for over ten years, My Family only ended a few years back!

He does quite a bit on stage these days.

The show basically takes the piss out of characters like Smith, it's a comedy about his sort rather than a sympathetic portrayal.
