I was a bit confused by the first episode of the second series of The Cockfields... And not just because Simon has a new partner... I was more confused by the fact that this was billed as a comedy.

The Guardian, 24th December 2019TV review: The Cockfields, episode two, Gold
There were no major dramas in the first instalment of this three-part comedy and there are none in the gloriously mundane second part either. Unless you count a minor altercation with a neighbour (Dan Renton Skinner) about a hedge.
