"The jokes are a bit laboured, but this is harmless enough fun," declared the Radio Times when this second series began, adding ominously that it "relies very heavily on the charm of the central performer". This lukewarm diagnosis was confirmed by last night's episode, a revamped Man About The House in which Douglas (Chris Langham) interacted with the scatty Kate and the dizzy blonde Mel (Amanda Holden) in an office where wilful misunderstandings were so rife that they led not to humour, but to despair.
Victor Lewis-Smith, Evening Standard, 21st May 1999Kiss Me Kate (BBC1) is a perfectly pleasant sitcom with a strikingly funny performance by the co-writer, Christopher Langham. It's not that he writes all the best lines for himself but more that his delivery is as flat as the line on a heart monitor when someone in a soap has snuffed it.
