Kind and Witty good natured comedy drama, a good example!

A particulally good example of contemporary British comedy drama enjoyed by my wife and I. Great work by the writers and producers and an marvalous show by the regulars such as Dickie and the like and a particulally good show by guest actor who plays the dreadful Nigel Ritter, (Hugh Parker) I believe.
