After all the publicity this programme has enjoyed and up beat introduction I've really been looking forward to it. Something refreshing and honest so I've alerted my friends, perpetuated the hyp only to discover the scheduling is barmy it self. Those of us who work in the psychiatric field know the value of sleep and relaxation. Your scheduling has already caused me stress through annoyance and I'm afraid I wont be giving up my sleep so after all that hopeful anticipation you have already lost your audience. Sorry Jo, writers etc it sounded like a fantastic concept ruined by bureaucrats. Isn't there some irony in this!
Getting On is superb, almost seemless high quality acting, the "documentary" style comes close to convincing; Jo Brand might learn from Scanlan, Pepperdine and Grover how to act comedy situations. These three present perfect examples. I watched the first instalment three times-it's classic stuff, and thanks for the very great pleasure.
