    Just completed the series. Such a lovely gentle, subtle humour. If this does not win a BAFTA then there is no justice.
    Written and directed by and starring Mackenzie Crook. This mans talents are amazing.

    You should see his artwork - he's brilliant.

    I went to Wilmington Grammar and Crook created an amazing mural on a wall there.

    Nice bloke too

    Just watched the first episode on IPlayer. Great gentle humour. Mackenzie Crook is very understated. Thanks for the tip. Looking forward to the rest of the series.

    I thought it was fantastic, honourable nod also to the ambassadors. Both had to be hunted out yet citizen khan is Friday prime time

    This was one of the best things I saw last year. British TV at it's best.

    Understand Elvis Costello is a fan. Heard him singing that he was watching the dectectorists.

    He's a Liverpool fan but refused to go to their last game, I guess he'll think up a song about that too!
