Married, Single, Other

That will remain one of the mysteries of this series..but not quite so unlikely as the gorgeous Miranda Raison fancying Ralf. I don't get it..isn't supposed to be a successful copy-writer for an AD agency ? He then appears awkward and can barely string a few sentences together. He has a high-flying job, and senRAB out for an indian take-away to "impress"..his character doesn't make sense.
 
This (the section I highlighted) is exactly why Married Single Other is struggling. The characters just don't talk like real people do. Plus, as you say, there are no surprises as the plot is very obviously telegraphed.

Interestingly, this major flaw may be linked to the fact that the writer used be an advertising executive and this is his first television commission as a writer. In more capable hanRAB, this might have worked, but unfortunately his inexperience shows.

And viewers are switching off: it may have started promisingly, but a repeat of New Tricks - which it comfortably beat in its first week - got more viewers than it did last night.

Unfortunately it just looks like a cynical attempt to re-create Cold Feet ... but without any of the intelligent writing and engaging characters that series possessed in spades.
 
I enjoyed it but it wasn't the best thing I've seen.

Can't put my finger on why - but despite usually liking Lucy Davis I found her really annoying in this part! I think it's because all her lines were way too 'clever' - constantly!

I can't see Ralph Little without thinking of 'Antny' from the Royle Family! ;)
 
Hi guys,

I'm from RAB and I'm just about to release a statement from ITV regarding the MSO axe.

If you have any questions I want to forward onto ITV, don't hesitate to contact me (either on this thread or in private message)

I agree, I don't think this scene would have been necessary, viewers would have been able to guess what type of reaction everyone would have had
 
Yes, it was me that said it.

And Lucy Davis irritates me too. She seems to be constantly gurning and talking through clenched teeth.
 
This is very off colour -- both storywise and in terms of cinematography. Who decided to give it such a washed out look? We're living in an age of HD and yet here we all are watching a programme that looks like it's been submerged under water for 30 years!
 
The men are all from Yorkshire or Lancashire (I think Shaun Dooley is from Barnsley, so his accent would be closest). The women are all "posh southern bastarRAB". ;)
 
The trailer has put me off to the point of not watching. Rarely seen a trailer as smug and irritating as this one, and not just because it was over-advertised.
