Love Soup: Whose God is it Anyway?

I should start by saying that the best comedy on British telly at the moment is toe-curlingly rude secondary school sitcom The Inbetweeners. It’s on Channel 4, though, which means I can’t embed it here. So here’s episode 10 of Love Soup series two instead: also brilliant (and pretty rude too). Love Soup’s quite difficult to describe. I suppose it’s quite gentle, from the old-time Jazz theme tune to the undemonstrative presence of Tamsin “The Archers, Green Wing, Black Books” Greig and the clever, slightly meandering plotlines that sort of fade out rather than coming to an end. This one’s got Stacey from Gavin & Stacey too, doing wonders for her career by playing three different characters and doing a posh accent. The whole thing feels impeccable: cast, script, direction. Lovely.
