Took me about 5 goes before I really got it. My mate was a huge fan and he was always telling me to stick with it. I'd watch a couple of them on BBC 2 and be like "nah, not for me." He'd be super enthusiastic, so I'd give it another go, but have the same result. Then I discovered torrents, and downloaded a few seasons just to watch from the start and give it one last try. I'm so glad I did. I tore through them and burned them onto discs so that I could put them on whenever he came to visit. It is absolute genius. The way every episode has so many threads running through it which all come together at the end, just shows how fantastic the writing is. And George is, as has been said, one of the greatest characters in the whole of television. I still say "That's gatta hoit!" when someone bangs their head or something in work, even though no one else knows wtf I'm on about
If you put me on a desert island with this, Frasier and TPB, I'd never want to be rescued.
