But Pam soon regrets her generous offer when Jackie and Peggy make themselves a little too much at home.

A smelly bathroom

The stench in the bathroom is too much. Who will use it first?

Press

Series finale of the sitcom about a transgender woman's romance with a younger man. Judy (Rebecca Root) and Leo (Harry Hepple) are getting married in the morning, which means mild family ructions - Janine Duvitski excels as Judy's annoying mum - and easily resolved church-on-time panics before the couple walk down the aisle. Buoyed by deserved audience goodwill, Boy Meets Girl amiably gets away with a script full of creaking, textbook jokes.

Jack Seale, The Guardian, 4th August 2016
