Without any doubt Getting on has been one of my favourite comedies of the last few years. What a creative trio in Joanna Scanlon, Vicki Pepperdine and Jo Brand. The three perform magically together, the laughs are side splitting and painfully funny, but its set against such a grim environment, the laughs are definitely tinged with sadness. I've said it several times, and will again, sadness and humour work so well hand in hand.
Many moments throughout this show had me crying laughing, Den and Kim's altering of Doctor Moore's speech (plop plops,) Doctor Moore's stool sample programme. Other moments produced tears of another kind, the demise of Mrs Fyvie, and the effects on her poor daughter Beedy.
Some frightening realism in this show, please ladies bring it back one day. This is by far the superior version. Its one of those shows I thought got better and better as it went on.
9/10
