Radio Times: Review by:; David Butcher

If any sitcom can get you to laugh out loud — properly cackle — in its pilot episode, that has to be a good sign. There were iffy spells in this script from Dan Maier, but they’re overlookable. The main thing is, it delivered great moments, courtesy of the regulars visiting the upstairs room of a local pub on the evening of a “Meet the Police” event. It doesn’t hurt that both drinkers and visitors are played by a remarkable cast.

If I tell you Simon Day from The Fast Show contributes a (very funny) cameo and Reece Shearsmith from The League of Gentlemen doesn’t appear until two-thirds of the way through, you’ll get the idea.
