We enjoyed the series. I actually think Alma WAS normal and it was the world around her that wasn’t. :) Great work. Cheers - Gary

I guess we don't get it in America. British humor is good. I miss Benny Hill.

It's not Benny Hill (but very British) it covers universal themes, some funny, some sad. If it manages to cross the Atlantic, I can only recommend it :)

Martin, I looked at the wiki entry for the show and I think you have summarized it much better than they do. Crazy happenings. Smiles to you from here!!

Thanks Duke. I am a huge fan as you can tell. I am extremely biased as it's all set in my home town. Best wishes!
