No, I'm American and I totally loved this show. I lived in England for 3 months in 1997 and this was one of the shows I loved to watch. Another was Never Mind the Buzzcocks. I think this show was a precursor to The Office.

oh c'mon ppl this show is hilarious...then agian, if u live in america you might not get it. While i lived in south africa we had the BBC and it was more up to date than the one here, and i loved watching this show! Alan was such a friggin idiot lol, this show made me laugh sooo much.
