Compared to many sitcoms getting commissioned these days, this pre-Covid offering is quite old-fashioned in it's set-up. The template is very much Laurel and Hardy, Harold Lloyd, Charlie Chaplin, but set in modern day Britain.
A house-clearance man gets a gig as a restaurant pianist when he rescues a player-piano from being dumped. Anyone who's ever watched a sitcom will know that things aren't going to go as planned. But the comic performances of Spencer Jones and Lucy Pearman are subtle, silly and endearing enough to make the episode very enjoyable.
This is a refreshing antidote to the current trend of dark, bitter, naval-gazing dramadies that are replacing the traditional sitcom.
