Press clippings
Sitcoms are a dying breed these days, and while this one won't leave you in hysterics, there are a few good giggles. Nicholas Lyndhurst and Celia Imrie play Jimmy and Diana.
The London Paper, 7th November 2008
Despite a promising set-up - ineffectual Jimmy (Nicholas Lyndhurst) gets stuck with his interfering mother-in-law Diane (Celia Imrie) after his wife leaves him - this sitcom never tickles the ribs as much as creator Fred Barron's wildly popular My Family. That said, this first episode of season three, in which Jimmy tries to wrestle a measure of independence back by attempting to parent without Diane's help, has its moments.
Gerard O'Donovan, The Telegraph, 13th September 2008
Nicholas Lyndhurst plays a bloke forced to live with his mother-in-law. There are too many reasons to despise this sitcom; it's created by Fred Barron (who also gave us My Family) and the theme song is performed by Jamie Cullum... need I go on? Outdated, outmoded, old hat and laugh-free. But like My Family, a ratings hit.
