Love Matters is another stand-alone series from Sky. Must say I enjoyed this one more than the recent Common Ground series. These episodes are full-length and feature many familiar faces including Isy Suttie, Katherine Parkinson, Rebekah Staton, Tanya Franks and Sarah Solemani......who, um, becomes more than just a familiar face. Even Lynda Baron makes an appearance (Open All Hours, Oh No - It's Selwyn Froggitt, Fat Friends, EastEnders).
Love Matters
Plebs is going to be the big one here. Modern type comedy. One long sexual innuendo. Takes place around 37 BC in Rome or something. Starring Joel Fry (Trollied, White Van Man, Massive, Twenty Twelve), Tom Rosenthal (Friday Night Dinner), Ryan Sampson (After You've Gone) with Karl Theobald (Twenty Twelve, Primeval, Green Wing), Doon Mackichan (Beast, Agony Again, The Day Today, Our Mutual Friend, Brass Eye, Bedtime, Smack The Pony, Taking The Flak) and Adrian Scarborough (Gavin & Stacey, Mrs. Biggs, Upstairs Downstairs, Cranford, Psychoville, Watson & Oliver, Let Them Eat Cake). There's even an appearance by Brian Murphy (Man About The House, George & Mildred, Last of the Summer Wine and will soon be celebrating his 80th birthday) and the final episode has an appearance from Janine Duvitski (Waiting For God, Worst Week Of My Life, Benidorm, One Foot In The Grave, Little Dorrit, This Is Jinsy, Cowboys).
Plebs
The Mimic is a gentle comedy serial. It's certainly a slice of pathos, but it works. I thought this was excellent.

I was intending to add another new comedy, Bluestone 42, to this disk, but it didn't fit and will have to wait for now.
