BBC Sitcom "Boy Meets Girl"

[tracy_j]

I have just watched the first episode of this sitcom.

I would recommend it as very amusing although I must admit I was in tears at the end.

Although it is from the BBC and so directed towards the UK it does have a little of the flavour of the US about it so should appeal there.

I look forward to the next episode and for anyone who can access it, recommend a look.

Thanks very much for the review, Tracy. If its broadcast in the U.S. I'll try to catch it.

I enjoyed most of this, but by the third episode, I found myself fast-forwarding past the bits with their awful families! (apart from Leo's father, who I predict will be the most accepting of Judy).

Overall, it's pretty good, but being on BBC2 directly after the very funny 'Cradle to Grave' doesn't help.

If you want scores:

Boy Meets Girl: 3/5

Cradle To Grave: 4/5

Peter Kay's attempt at a London accent in 'Crade to Grave': 1/5

I find the awful families amusing. I've never really watched Cradle to Grave so maybe its time!

Seems to have come to the end of the series after half a dozen episodes.

I think the most un-realistic thing about it was how people became accepting when they found out in such a short space of time. It made things appear very rushed such that the series appeared rushed and de-valued. My experience in practice is that most people will accept over time and it is this time which is the point.

That said - it was amusing and usefully brings the subject into people's lives. It will be interesting to see if there is a second series asI think it would be difficult to progress from where this one finished.
