After series 3 i would have gave it a higher score and most of the cast are extremely good especially Elaine C Smith as Christine. However the character Cathy just becomes increasingly obnoxious and cruel and this just becomes repetitive and annoying as she has no redeeming features or softness.
Of the new couple Michelle is very good and fits in well but her husband Alan is totally miscast and is unnecessarily crude which is all rather pointless.
I know that it is only TV but there is absolutely no reality in the Michelle / Alan relationship and absolutely no one would put up with Cathy for five minutes. I feel that the writers have nowhere to go with some characters and the really good cast members can only sustain the programme for so long. The writing has to be more focused, funny and less cruel or it will soon end.
