    Funnier then I remember.

    Back in the day I remember watching the first episode and not being overly impressed with it, so I've decided to give it another go, and see if I can get into it.

    Linda and Tom, both wake up after a heavy drinking session, to discover a sexy, semi nude man in their apartment. Each thinks they got lucky with 'Jez.'

    It's definitely funnier then I remember, brash, loud, over the top and very funny. Kathy and James make a great comedy duo, they're very funny together. Roaslind Knight is very funny as Beryl, great role for her she's normally so straight laced. Brian Bovell, who should have won rear of the year, is very funny too.

    7/10
