Critical reception
TV Guide wrote, "This British farce is a nice combination of slapstick and verbal comedy...An above-average production for British features of this period." [3]
gollark: It'll probably take a giant scandal ("Facebook is stealing your credit card information and using it to buy random people illegal drugs!") to make people consider moving, and you know what? They probably won't!
gollark: Though they're still reachable by SMS, I can't participate in their group chats or whatever, and I probably can't convince them to use Signal.
gollark: I already have a bit of trouble communicating with some friends because they're on WhatsApp.
gollark: I mean, so far, I'm trying to avoid cloud stuff by running most of my services locally, but I have to interact with cloudy stuff to actually communicate with people, and regardless of what I do there'll be all kinds of shadowy data mining going on.
gollark: I kind of hope the cloud thing will begin to recede as P2P technology improves and computers get fast enough that you can run a decent amount on a £50 RPi kit, but sadly... it probably won't.
