Having proved his skill in a sitcom before in the form of 'Lead Balloon', which ran for four successful series, it's a surprise to see Jack Dee returning to the genre again.
This new show isn't quite as funny (based on the first episode) as 'Balloon' was, with the supporting cast's characters not being half as entertaining/endearing as those that Dee's Rick Spleen had to deal with.
It has potential, but it'll be interesting to see what Dee does with the 'city folk move to the country' set up that 'The Good Life' and 'The Green Green Grass' didn't do previously.
