This series is just weird. Its pace is glacial, the odd but still bland characters wander in and out, and disconnected scenes do not a plot make. I tried to watch this several times but with what seemed just to be silly unfunny people with little depth to their characters and an incomprehensible story line, I invariably lost interest only to wander off myself and do dishes or finish some project while waiting for the news at ten. The Cafe is more eccentric than funny. If the nothing-happens-in-seaside-towns principle is the premise then I guess it's more a documentary. Thankfully, after two series, Sky has closed it down and now Cyril's has been flat-packed to a nearby park to provide a hospitality re-training centre for local youth: a MUCH better use of The Cafe.
