MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS (?) I stumbled upon this series completely by accident. I was looking through the comedy section in HMV and saw this on DVD. I'd never heard of it, but the idea of a sitcom set in a brothel sounded funny, so I took a chance and rented it. It was a wonderful surprise. A great combination of comedic styles - embarrassment comedy, dirty jokes etc. - but it all works well together. Thank God they didn't have a laughter track - that would have killed it completely.
I saw all 6 episodes in a row - it hooked me in that much. Unlike most sitcoms the relationships between the characters is the most interesting aspect. Michael and Haylie, though completely different types of character (both in terms of type and comedy style) and totally believable. Haylie is totally dippy and child-like but very endearing with it, and Michael takes the standard bumbling Englishman stereotype and fashions a character out of it. Their relationship together is incredibly rewarding and sweet.
Alongside 'Let Them Eat Cake', this is one of the best, underrated British sitcoms of the last 8 years - check it out. (By the way, there's next to no nudity, but I promise that won't affect your enjoyment guys, I promise!)
