All great gay characters, I don't think we can add 'Coming of Age' to that list.
That's lucky, we weren't watching that.

I don't think it should just be judged like that. Oh, this gay character wasn't as good as that other gay character in that other gay show.
I liked the whole family, and the way it was shot. Felt kind of American actually, a bit like Everybody Hates Chris or something. Not shot at all like a normal British sitcom.

Well I wasn't comparing it with other gay characters, but with a similar "growing up in suburbia" show.
Anyway, you liked it, I didn't, so, umm, I win or something.

Sorry about that, there's so many mediocre comedies around I get confused. Coming of Age, Beautiful People, Trexx and Flipside; it's all the same to me.
I file all of them up my arse under 'a load of shite'.
Linehan, Swartzwelder, Morris, Brooker, Parker and Stone.

I thought it was fantastic! Not the usual run of the mill stuff the BBC usually hits out with. The sound track was also pretty good, hope the second episode lives up to excellent series opener.

What was the song over the credits?
I recognised it.

No.
It was sung by thing from The Feeling. I think it was an original composition for the show.

It was some blokey band. At the end anyway...
Ooh, The Feeling. I like him.

I switched over to 8 Out Of 10 Cats when the credits rolled, so didn't catch the theme tune.

Watched it on iPlayer not expecting much but I really liked it. It wasn't laugh out loud funny but many of the lines were quite funny as were characters like Simon's Mum and Aunt Hayley.
Would be interesting to see if the older Kylie appears in the series.

Embarrassingly bad. It made me smile once in half an hour. Telegraphed 'jokes' and camp humour that seemed as dated as John Inman's mince - it was just so boring, boring, boring.
