This is a bit of a rip off of an American sitcom called Big Bang, which is only mildly funny sometimes anyway. It is by comparison however, many times better then this pap that the BBC have offered up.
Telegraphed jokes you can see coming a mile away, repetitive jokes that you know have been on the treadmill of sitcom land for years. The 'situation' being a Lab but it seems rather forgetful that this is where it is set most of the time.
One of the most annoying things and the largest difference between the two Sitcoms is that the American one portrays its scientists as brilliant, smart, intelligent, these guys have massive IQs. In the British version, all but one of them is a complete idiot. Where the American comedy deals in the Fantasy, PC Gaming, Geek world for references and jokes, we get slap stick and painful word puns.
This sort of sitcom should have died in the 80s. It is pitiful when confronted with the American competition.
Why oh why has the BBC Comedy department re-hired all the people that retired in 1988, it is the only explanation for why this utter tripe has been made.
