Joking Apart (1991)
BBC: Repeat please!
Brilliant, slides-off-chair-onto-floor-laughing, clever writing. If the BBC or anyone ever show this series again; watch it! The answering machine episode is a comedy masterpiece. This would fit brilliantly into a Steven Moffat DVD box-set along with Coupling et al. Someone? Please?
Coupling (2000)
Pant-wettingly funny
Steven Moffat is a genius!
Joking Apart was hilarious, this is even better. Not only is the dialogue clever, believable and very funny, the situations are beautifully crafted and his use of flashbacks and cuts and some interesting, non-traditional visual devices a la Terminator (for want of a better reference) make this the funniest thing on TV at the moment. Series 1 is out on region 2 DVD and VHS and I have ordered my copy already.
Series 2 is showing on the BBC at the moment (September 2001) and is (dare I say it?) even better.
We want more!
