Title: Lead Balloon / Jack Dee....

Now in its 4th series and an excellent sitcom on BBC2 Tuesdays 10:00pm. I'm usually in studio on Tuesday nights so on iPlayer:

Watch out particularly for the finger/ring reference  :laugh:.

Extremely well cast.

Was that the second episode Robin?

I missed series 3 and have no way of catching up until the DVD is released.

Is this the last series?

That was Ep.3 in this Series 4. Ep.1 and 3 were brilliant but Ep.2 good but not quite so good, imo.

Dunno if this 4th is the last series he's doing.

Each episode is an independent story so you don't need any catching up.

Like I said I watched the 1st but I read on Wiki that this time it was a concurrent story?

Maybe her changed his mind?

I will catch up today on iPlayer.

Yes it is a running story, but still enjoyable even if you miss one. A bit like Neighbours in that respect  :laugh:.

Unfortunately I think iPlayer only runs an episode for one week.

Cheers! They are episodes which are still good when seen again - Rather like "Faulty Towers" but not like "Neighbours". You often notice little things you missed the first time.

Watched them last night.

Have to say he is a horrible little man.

All his own doing.

Its quite ironic that his wife and daughter seem so nice and Marty yet they all seem to put up with him.

Magda is just class too. Probably one of the best characters.

Yes, I don't understand why his wife puts up with him - He really is obnoxious. Very well played by Jack Dee. Magda and the children really crack me up  :laugh:
