I've watched this show twice and still think it's funny. I don't understand why the rating is so low. Is it because the tree-huggers are mad just because he show made fun of the global warming issue? And the Scots are mad because it's upfront about the economic situation of the UK? Or is it because the BBC is mad because it made fun of the BBC's redundancy? The show is funny because its sarcasm worked, but it's heavily criticized because its sarcasm worked. However, I am yet to watch the past episodes, so I guess it's the reason why I'm not as influenced as the others. I'm simply judge this series according to its own quality. Maybe the past episodes are even better, but it doesn't make the new series is a fail. It might also mean people have become less open-minded as they used to be in the 80s.
