We've been watching this as it was billed as a new comedy drama featuring Dawn French and Alfred Molina. I've been watching it and have found it to be an acquired taste so far. There are some funny moments, but its all about the characters because they really do spend all their time procrastinating and that is where the laughter comes from.
Anyhow, this last week's episode was the best one so far, there were a lot of laughs at the very human and very minor mistakes that both characters had made but then over the last few episodes that they don't have children and there are these utterly beautiful realistic awkward pauses whenever the couple talk about children.
The end of the episode was so poignant I found myself in an unexpected state of almost weepiness, which for a show I hadn't been all that into was a huge turning point.
If you haven't seen Roger and Val have Just got in, you should. Right now.
It kind of packed a similar punch as The Royle Family's Queen of Sheba special, which left me huge wracking sobs.
Its strange how so-called comedy programmes are able to do that.
