There are one or two funny moments in this second edition of Derren Litten’s new health-club comedy – Alison (Rebecca Front) and her peculiar sleeping arrangements; Davina (Debbie Chazen) trying to realign the chakras of a flatulent punter; and Cheryl Fergison as insulted customer Ms Wylde being fobbed off with a colonic. The performances make this watchable.
But I’m still waiting for Frances Barber, as Alison’s stable-owning mate Ginny, to get something worth her spit. And the addition of a Polish chef/plumber called – wait for it – Bolek seems to be heading nowhere and is just another sign of the woolly randomness of the script.
About this programme
2/7. Manager Alison is forced to move into the health centre when her boiler packs up, but it's far from a relaxing stay. Ms Wylde is complaining about an incident in her weight-loss class, the kitchen urgently needs a new chef and, to top it all, the club's chief executive arrives for an impromptu inspection - and he isn't impressed by his findings.
