Press
Home Time reaches its conclusion after six delightfully droll weeks, which means the end of Gaynor's silence on what exactly drove her back to Cov. But first the gang end up at their school reunion, where rumours about what she's been up to spread around the library to the sound of Paul's band playing Kula Shaker covers. It's too dry and understated to have been an attention-grabber for BBC2, but the lack of showiness has been to its credit, and tonight's episode is a fine end to a taut and thoroughly original comedy.
