I may disqualify myself by having been brought up in an English seaside town, but The Cafe is one of the two shows on TV at the moment I would be mortified if I had missed, (the other is the Norwegian crime series The Killing on BBC 4) If you do need special qualifications to appreciate The Cafe, then I am very glad I have them. The story is driven by the characters, the characters are true to nature, the dialogue is authentic, the comedy understated. The production has all the right values. At last we are having some authentic new comedy on TV. Thanks to Sky for standing up and putting their weight behind a project that must have been way out on a limb.
