Critical reception
TV Guide called it a "Dull British comedy."[3]
gollark: Hmm. I really wonder *what* palaiologos's code does. It could probably have uploaded secret bee neuron data to palaiologos' server and nobody would know.
gollark: Maybe someone should make a PR with hyperfast ultrayes.
gollark: See, this is bad because it presumably runs below 3GB/s.
gollark: Maybe it would be easier to just run it a lot, and calculate the time complexity.
gollark: I can't actually understand this.
