Friday Night Dinner

So, does anyone else watch it? Series 1 ran 6 episodes from Feb to April in 2011, and Series 2 started in October this year (also with 6 episodes, plus there's gonna be a Christmas special).

I think it's one of the funniest shows on TV at the moment, such a simple concept yet so hilarious.

Also, an american remake was confirmed in September 2011... Ugh...

I'm looking forwards to the American remake.

I like the British show but it's nothing special. It just sort of trundles along.

But Greg Daniels is developing the remake for American TV and given his track record and how well the remake of The Office turned out, I'm expecting the American remake to be better if anything.

*bump*

Series 3 began in June and it's still just as hilarious. Highly recommend this show.

Also, cyber, the American version has been scrapped.

Yeah, I saw as much. The footage they released a while back (was it a trailer?) looked awful.

I'm enjoying series 3. I still don't think this show is one of the greats or anything, but it's a welcome return to the schedules whenever it does come back. Especially nowadays and how British comedy is really, really lacking at the minute.
