Nighty Night, written and starring Julia Davis and featuring a number of British comedy greats. Jill Tyrell supporting her husband Terry Tyrell through his battle with cancer falls for their new neighbour Don Cole.
Unfortunately for Don and especially Cath his long suffering wife, this makes their new life (after Dons' illicit affair) a nightmare.
Cath suffering with MS is a bit of a door mat, and everyone Jill especially walk all over her. Throw in a a Scotsman with Tourette's, the local vicar and his wife with unfeasibly large breasts and best of all the put put upon hairdressing assistant of Jill's Linda.
Needless to say this is a classic sitcom of painfully awkward social situations which makes for laugh out loud comedy.
Plus which adds immensely to the show, its soundtrack cherry picked choice tracks of the 80s to elevate some scenes to epic proportions, Marillion's Lavender being a prime example. Incidentally the theme for Night Night is by Ennio Morricone's My Name is Nobody which adds even more kudos to an already legendary series. The series ran to two season's and although the second series does lack focus at times and stretches the humour, when it works there is nothing better.
10/10.
