Joking Apart was a refreshingly different and adult comedy which ran for two series of six episodes each, winning both critical acclaim and a highly-prized award at the Montreux festival. In the style of a modern farce, it was the perfect antidote to all those twee sitcoms. It was trailed by the BBC as “bittersweet comedy" – indeed, the series was both incredibly funny and decidedly dark in places. The general theme – divorce – might not seem the most obvious source of humour but there’s no doubt that the writer, Steven Moffat, pulled it off spectacularly. (from www.jokingapart.co.uk)
