I'm amazed people slated this show. I thought it was terrific and so did the vast majority of kids at school according to my kids. It was wacky, funny and unpretentious. Mel and Richard had us in stitches everyday.. I despair.. I thought for certain that it was going to sound the death knell of the dreary, self-congratulatory, po-faced Richard and Judy..
Everyday at the school gates the children's talk was all of what was on the 5'O'Clock Show the previous evening. I really cannot see what there was about this show that anyone could find to dislike.
I guess the show won't be returning, judging by all the negative comments I have seen on the subject, and all I can say is "What a pity"
Are people now so immune to lighthearted fun that they are unable to laugh at unsophisticated humour any more?
As far as my family were concerned, this was the big hit of the year, and it is a great disappointment to discover that nobody else felt the same
