Eeee! Oh I am so excited! I just adored the first series, it was just so smart & funny. Thank you so much for posting here, I had no idea another series was on.

Yay! I always wonder if it's a *little* bit overkill when I post every single other Finnemore project here, so...yay. :-)

I missed the first new episode but really enjoyed the second (the forgetful old lady and the man asking to borrow money from her). I wonder if the third episode had to be postponed because it referenced something which loosely related to recent events in the UK.

On the outtro of each episode, I can't be the only one who, when John says, "Pozzitive production for the BBC," immediately repeats it in the proper Benedict way and says loudly, "for the BBCeeeee!"

I suspect it must have been something like that with episode 3, because John's announcement of the postponement was so uncharacteristically sober - I think it's the first time I've seen him say/write/post anything *not* with some kind of joke or clever wordplay. (Though above that on his Twitter, he's got a mention of the Lib Dem leader resigning and a comment that "now we can't do next week's episode either"...)

Yes, I loved "Mercy Dash"!! That was a highlight so far. You can also still catch "The Queen's Speech" (ep 1) on iPlayer, though. And Una Stubbs in the next one?? A Sherlock/Cabin Pressure crossover fan's dream. :-)

I love your icon!

I remembered the new series just in time and caught both of the new eps, I've been bummed the third one hasn't come out yet but I'm keeping an eye out so I can catch it too. :)

The third seems to have been postponed indefinitely (it got replaced with "The Goliath Window" from last series, for now) but episode 4 is coming up next Wednesday and it sounds excellent. Features Una Stubbs and is set at a wedding. :-)

Aw, that sucks about ep 3. But yay for ep 4, I'm looking forward to it, thanks for the info! :)
